I have a hole in the heart it is less than 1cm do i need to get it closed?

Requires expert: Many people with small ventricular septal defects -- i'm betting this is what you have -- tolerate them perfectly well through their lives. I'd urge you to get a few opinions, and also find out whether there's a technology available or on the horizon that would make repair easy.
