This is the question all anesthesiologists try to answer before narcosis. Surgery doesn't "hurt" the heart strictly speaking, but surgery is stress on the body, and the question is wether your heart can deliver the extra's that are needed. For example, if you have severe coronary disease that makes your heart unable to beat faster than say 60/min, you can live, but not run a marathon. Same with surgery, if the narcosis causes your blood pressure to drop, your heart would need to compensate that by pounding harder / faster. If it can't do that, you'd be in serious trouble. Of course, anesthesists have a few tricks up their sleeve to help out.

What is the difference between open heart surgery and bi pass surgery?
The term "open heart surgery" is really used incorrectly. We use it to mean a surgery where the chest is cut open to get the heart. A "bypass surgery" is where they cut open your chest and reroute the large blood vessels (arteries) on the outside of the heart. We do wrongfully call Bypass Surgery a type of Open Heart Surgery. But I would call a real "open heart surgery" where they cut open the chest and then cut open the heart to work inside the heart, like replace valves.
