As stated there are patches that can be done wth a cath. Many holes in the heart don't need treatment (depends on size and location), but some do. Most holes are a birth defect and repaired at infancy but sometimes adults are treated for holes in the heart if problems develop.
Its not clear if you have a problem by your post. If there is a problem and depending on the location (could be wall that separates the upper left and right chambers or a hole in the wall that separates the lower right and left chambers, as a result there will be a mixture of oxygenated blood (left side) with blood that has not passed through the lungs (right side).
If a serious shunting (medical term) of blood from the right ventrical to the left ventricle deoxygenated blood is mixed with oxygenated blood, the result will be less oxygenated blood to heart cells that can eventually cause heart wall movement disorder and heart failure.
More likely your condition is shunting of blood from the left to the right side chamber because the pressure on the left side is higher than the right side when the heart pumps. The result is that blood that is oxygenated shunts to the right side and the oxygenated blood goes through the lungs again and no problem. The only way that condition can be serious is if there is significant loss of blood pumped into circulation with each heartbeat (reduced by the amount shunted the right side.
Thanks for sharing, and if you have any further questions or comments you are welcome to respond. Take care,

I assume that what you call "holes in the heart" are small holes in the wall (septum) that separate the left and right part of the heart.
If this is what you suffer, you should know this it is not a Heart failure.
This is a malformation that up to 25% of people suffer and most of them does not show any symptoms and they live normally without never suspect that they have it.
If doctors think that, in your case, it is appropriated, they can close it by using a catheter to place a patch that will close it.
