Her risk depends a lot on the underlying cardiac problem. The term heart disease is too general and some cardiac condition can be prohibitive such as severe valvular disorder or poor left ventricular function or recent ischemic heart event. Cardiac clearance is a must. If she is cleared by cardiologist, her peri-operative risk is still moderate, not mild. Good luck.
