Headache Log : Next Test

I have an appointment with the cardiologist in two weeks to run tests on my heart and look for a hole.  People with a hole in their heart are more likely to have a stroke - that's why I'm going.
But I also know that many people who have a history of migraines have ASD - Atrial Septal Defect - a hole between the atria in their heart.  And when they get that repaired they don't experience migraines anymore (or a least not nearly as many).
So what's better?  To find a hole and have surgery (even though it will most likely be a laproscopic surgery).  Or to have my heart be perfectly fine and still not know what the problem is?
