Other than syncope, arrythmia, torsade, is there any association of prolonged QT syndrome with ischemia?

Yes, there are a few formulas to correct QT according to the heart rate. The easiest to remember is: QT divided by square root of RR interval.

Long QT is also associated with seizures. In fact a long QT is often mistaken for seizure.
