Hello,
Hole in heart is usually not treated till the age of 3-4 years if hole is small. In that case, it's likely to get automatically closed. However, in adults it usually doesn't close on its own. If it's small then closed by minor procedure through vein and if it's Large then needs open surgery. You should take patient to cardiologist for the same.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
