Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
A hole can be present either in the inter atrial septum (between two Atria) or in the inter ventricular septum (between two ventricles)
It is moderately big hole,but can be corrected by surgery.
Some holes in the inter ventricular septum close spontaneously in due course.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
