Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain it seems that she has an infection the extraction socket that is causing pus coming out of the extraction socket and also pain..

It can be due to either any retained root piece that can be flaring up infection while can be due to foreign body impaction in the socket..

As far as causing heart related issue is concerned tooth related infection can rarely cause Bacterial Endocarditis that is infected in the inner layer of the heart but is comparatively less common...

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated and an x-ray if the extraction socket will be done..

In case of infection a course of antibiotics and painkillers like Ibuprofen will help..
In case of retained root piece removal of same followed by antibiotics and painkillers will help..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
