Hi treatment depends on the size of the hole, and location of the hole a 2 d echo should be done to rule out the nature of the hole, its location and size . Modality of treatment also depends on the direction of the flow of blood termed as shunt direction. At a age of 57 a hole can be surgically closed , but inital work up in form of 2d echo is a must , before decision of surgery or medical management is made
