  Complexity measures are introduced, that quantify the change of the natural
entropy fluctuations at different length scales in time-series emitted from
systems operating far from equilibrium. They identify impending sudden cardiac
death (SD) by analyzing fifteen minutes electrocardiograms, and comparing to
those of truly healthy humans (H). These measures seem to be complementary to
the ones suggested recently [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 70}, 011106 (2004)] and
altogether enable the classification of individuals into three categories: H,
heart disease patients and SD. All the SD individuals, who exhibit critical
dynamics, result in a common behavior.
