What Is The Prognosis For Multiple Holes In Heart?
My friend, a girl, 26 years old, has just been diagnosed with having multiple holes in her heart, I don't know about it in details, but I'd really appreciate if you could me if this is fatal, I can't gather the courage to ask her more about it in details, but she seems to have lost all hope, I can't, can't see her dying! There must me something that can be done! Thankyou

Hello,
Hole in the heart doesn't imply death, unless it's in a late stage. Even if one have multiple holes then large one can be closed and small can be left without much problem. I think you should take her to interventional cardiologist who does device closure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
