Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

It all depends on the type of cardiac disease and the gravity of it. If your mother has a serious life threatening cardiac disease or her disease is in an unstable stage she should move closer to town.

Can you please specify the type of cardiac disease and the severity of her disease?

Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
