ABSTRACT
Hydroxychloroquine is an immunomodulatory drug that has been used to treat malaria and autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and inflammatory arthritis. The authors conclude the proarrhytmic effects of hydroxychloroquine and the most important signs of drug-induced long QT syndrome. This article is especially relevant and timely due to the more frequent (currently not evidence-based) use of the drug during the 20192020 coronavirus pandemic. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(17): 689691.
