Brief summary
Primary objective: * to assess the efficacy of SSR149744C for the prevention of ventricular arrhythmia-triggered ICD interventions. Secondary objectives: * to assess versus placebo the tolerability of the different dose regimens of SSR149744C in the selected population. * to document SSR149744C plasma level during the study.
