I cant say for sure, but I am guessing a good number of them are under the influence of something- And yes, I would think the chance of sudden death (v-tach and later v-fib) is lessened considerably if stimulants are not in the body.
But this does not take away from the fact that some individuals are at extreme risk whether they are on stimulants or not- namely people with undiagnosed cardiomyopathy.
