What else can cause Long QT?
Long QT syndrome
There are several subtypes of long QT syndrome.

These include smoking cigarettes that the individual smokes themselves or breathes from second-hand exposure. Long-term exposure to smoke can irritate airways and lead to chronic cough and in severe cases lung damage. Other risk-factors include exposure to the air. Individuals that work in factories or laboratories that deal with chemicals have a chance of developing chronic cough from long term exposure.
