duh. did you read your question before you asked it? that's got to be one of the stupidest questions I've heard in a long time.

If the surgery was not on the heart, then there would be no point for the surgeon to be there. I believe you were badly mistaken, unless of course this "HEART" is something else, which I doubt at the present moment it is.
A cardiac surgeon with additional training in transplant surgery will be consulted to perform the operation.
Cardiovascular Surgeon
a surgeon who does surgery on your heart.
Dr. Dwight Harken, a U.S. Army surgeon, was a pioneer of heart surgery
She performs surgery on the heart. This could be valve replacement, bypass surgery, plus others.
A cardiologist. A Cardiac Surgeon . All cardiologists are not necessarily surgeons.
A cardiovascular surgeon is someone who works on hearts doing things like open heart surgery A cardiovascular surgeon is someone who works on hearts doing things like open heart surgery
No. It will be too risky. But then your surgeon is the best judge.
This is a difficult question to answer. Payment of surgeons depend on lot of factors 1. country of employment -US surgeons are paid better than Ugandan Surgeons 2.Private Sector paid better than Public. 3. Pay normally increases with number of cases done. 4. senior surgeons paid higher than junior surgeons. 5. reputed surgeons paid better etc.etc.etc.
The most famous heart surgeon is probably South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard who performed the first successful human heart transplant in December of 1967.
there's nothing like a open heart surgeon as a speciality.But cardiosurgeons are the doctors who perform the open heart surgery.It's a kind of surgery in which the cardio surgeon cut open your thoracic cavity ,and performs your heart's surgery while bringing it to rest for some period of time.That's it.
Normally no, a cardiologist is a medicine (not surgical) specialty. There are cardiologists who perform procedures (like angiograms) and some that don't. A surgeon who operates on the heart is a cardiothoracic surgeon (a specialty in surgery).
