hi
pipe to the heart means the blood vessels supplying to the heart, called as coronary blood vessels,
it might have ruptured due to the blood clot/emboli/plaque or caused haemorrhage into the area , which can be dangerous,costing one`s life.
the local doctor might have treated her for a urinary tract infection or any food/fluid infection, with intravenous antibiotics.
cardiac problems can be due to immediate or delayed cause., which cannot be symptomatic some times.
take care
