Electrocardiograms were blindly read twice by three different operators at \u22651\u2010week interval. QT and RR intervals were collected at rest and at each dose, as well as final operator interpretation of the test. There was a high interobserver reproducibility of corrected QT measurements with an intraclass correlation (ICC) of 0.74 (95% confidence interval, 0.66\u20100.80) but a low interobserver reproducibility on the final interpretation with a <jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic> of 0.31. Intraobserver reproducibility of corrected QT was very good (ICC 0.93; 0.91\u20100.95), but still resulted in an only moderate intraobserver reproducibility in the final diagnosis (<jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic> of 0.47). Perceived certainty of at least 1 reading by 2 operators (N\u2009=\u200962 tests) increased interobserver reproducibility compared with baseline (<jats:italic>\u03ba<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.43).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Inter\u2010 and intraobserver agreement in the interpretation of the epinephrine provocation test for LQTS is poor to modest. Complexity in interpretation varies from one case to the next. The low reliability of this test encourages a reconsideration of its importance in the clinical management of patients with suspected
