Question:

How to treat a person with a hole in the heart?


Answers:

To begin all holes are not equal. It depends on where exactly a hole may be. In some cases a small hole is insignificant and no intervention is required. On the other end of the spectrum, a hole can be responsible for a whole variety of serious problems and it is necessary to surgurcally close the hole. Bottom line, a cardiologist should be consulted, allowed to do studies to evaluate the situation, and then recommend the most prudent course. Below are some links that discuss the matter in more detail, including three types of the most common holes.

Good luck
