Authors report the case of a patient with drug-induced long QT syndrome. This case highlights the importance of ECG signs of LQTS that may lead to torsade de pointes tachycardia. The patient received the QT prolonging moxifloxacine and the QT remained long even after the offending drug was discontinued. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(39): 1607-1610.
