No doing an MD in General Medicine followed by a DM in Cardiology does not qualify you to perform open heart surgeries. That path leads to becoming an Interventional Cardiologist - who treats heart conditions using non surgical catheter based procedures (like angioplasty/stents). To perform open heart surgeries you must train as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

No, DM is not equivalent to a PhD. These are two types of PG courses in Medicine and health sciences with different points of focus and purpose.

DM is clinical and focused in orientation with the focus being on the care of patients and practice of medicine.

But PhD is focused towards research and contributes to the body of knowledge in science.
