Hiatus hernia often causes heartburn and abdominal issues. In a few cases, it may also hamper the blood supply to the stomach, which is very harmful. It is best to get it diagnosed and treated to avoid such symptoms. The doctor may prescribe some medications, and in a few cases, may suggest surgery.

Did your wife undergo heart valve surgery yet? Ovarian cyst removal is done laparoscopically and so is not meant to have much load on the heart. The ejection fraction of the heart is the function that is more importantly looked at before any operative procedure is advised/planned.
