Ventricular repolarisation can be influenced by hormonal milieu which may mimic long QT syndrome. We describe a series of patients referred for genetic testing for diagnosed long QT syndrome where a detailed clinical workup demonstrated endocrinopathies as the cause of presumed "gene negative" long QT syndrome and QT prolongation.
