Will you be able to have an MD-Ph.D If you want to become a cardiovascular surgeon?

It is not necessary. To become a cardiovascular surgeon, a physician must hold the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree or the Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree, be a licensed physician, and complete specialized residency and fellowship training. A plain old DO or MD with the proper training in cardiovascular surgery (residency/fellowship) is what you need. The D.O./Ph.D. and M.D./Ph.D. dual degrees are more research-oriented.

How long can it take for a general surgeon to be a cardiovascular surgeon?

Believe it or not, general surgery is considered a medical surgical specialty. A general surgeon would have trained specifically for that scope of practice so it is hard to compare two specialties. It is, however, common for general surgeons to undertake a more specialised role (i.e. cardiovascular surgeon). In most institutions, you will have to start from scratch and restart your surgeon's training.
