Therefore, IL‐6 is still largely ignored in the clinical management of long‐QT syndrome and related arrhythmias. Subjects with elevated IL‐6 showed a concentration‐dependent increase in the prevalence of QTc prolongation, and those presenting with QTc prolongation exhibited higher circulating IL‐6 levels.
