Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually when there is infection in the tooth it can spread through blood stream to the heart, and after surgery your heart will be more prone for infection.
So better you should get the treatment of the tooth done, and if the problem is not getting solved by medications then go for complete removal of the tooth.
Hope it will help you.
