| Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of SSR149744C for the prevention of ventricular-arrhythmia triggered ICD interventions;Secondary Objective: To assess versus placebo the tolerability of the different dose regimens of SSR149744C; To document SSR149744C plasma levels;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint will be the time from randomization to all VT or VF arrhythmia episodes (documented by ICD interrogation including stored electrograms (EGMs) leading to any ICD intervention (ATP or ICD shock) | — |
