Popis:	To the Editor.— I read with the recent article by Danford et al regarding "cost assessment of heart murmur evaluation." I agree completely with the authors that echocardiographic evaluation of heart murmurs is more costly than referral to a pediatric cardiologist. In this study, the authors utilized echocardiograms ordered at their own institution, presumably performed by technicians trained and experienced in the evaluation of children for congenital heart disease, and interpreted by pediatric cardiologists trained and experienced in interpretation of pediatric echocardiograms.
