What are the risk factors for SCD in those with infrequent/frequent PVCs?

Are there any risk factors for sudden cardiac death in those with PVCs? Do PVCs even cause SCD?

Odds are they will not cause SCD.  There have to be other risk factors like heart damage from previous heart attacks or badly damaged valves.  Otherwise they are mostly just a nuisance.
