12 years\n4 years for undergrad/pre-med, Degree-BS, majors include biology,  biochem or chemistry. Some univ. offer courses esp. for pre-med students. To get accepted into a good medical school you need to get good grades during your under years.\nAfter you are accepted into a medical school, depending on your own effort and courses you choose, generally speaking, it may take about 5 years to get your Doctor of Medicine degree (ranges 4-6). But if you want to be a heart surgeon you'll need another 2-3 years of training, total about 12 years. Residency does not count as schooling except for the part you do for a specific class. During residency you are a doctor (unexperienced, though).

Usually about 12 hours.  I assume you are talking about the operation itself, and not how long it takes to "get a heart."

Yes.  You need to do 4 years of college. You can major in anything but need to fulfill basic core requirements: 1 year organic chemistry, 1 year general chemistry, 1 year physics, 1 year biology, 1 year math, 1 year english.  some schools also require biochemistry and genetics.  You also need to take the MCAT test and usually it's advisable to get a 30 or better on that.  Supplement all of the schoolwork with lots of quality volunteer work, patient contact, and throw in some research and a publication or two and you're on your way. Some schools offer programs where you go straight from high school into a pre-med curriculum, finish that in 3 years and move straight into the school's medical school.  But the more traditional route is the one mentioned first.

I'm a med student in New Jersey.  As far as education...it takes 4 years of college and 4 years of med school, then for cardiac surgery, you have to do a surgical residency which is about 5-7 years and then you have to a cardiology fellowship which is another 2-4 years.  As far as the type of person it takes...you have to be very dedicated because it takes a long time and there is a lot of information thrown at you in a short period of time.  I believe that the school I go to is an excellent school (despite the controversy going on now) but I hear that NYU has a good school and that Johns Hopkins is really good school.  Also Albert Einstein College of Medicine but any one is probably suffice if you work hard enough at your studies.  Also you don't have to major in a science in college to get in to med school..you just have to have the prerequisites.  Good luck!

To get your M.D. or D.O. you need a minimum of 8 years of school, four years of undergraduate and four years of Professional (medical) school. In very rare occasions, you can be accepted to a medical school before earning your undergraduate degree, but this is extremely, rare (I mean extremely).
