It is of interest to note that the trend of increase in referrals to paediatric cardiology and the proportion of patients with normal heart are increasing not only in our centre but also in other tertiary paediatric heart centres in Europe. We are also aware of another tertiary paediatric cardiology centre in United Kingdom with similar experience.

We agree with our colleagues in the Netherlands, an increasing number of referrals of patients with normal hearts, is of concern and this has to be taken into account for provision of resources and training within Europe.
