Get some direction : Sorry it seems like the answers you got before were rather dismissive. It takes 14-16 years of studying/training after high school to become an interventional cardiologist. It's great that you have an idea of what you want to be in future. For know you can put yourself on the right track by maintaining good scores in biology, chemistry, physics, math, and an overall good gpa to get into med school.

Classes: At the high school level, there are no special classes to take. However you should work hard and get good grades, so that you get into a good college. There are courses in college that you need to take in order to take the MCATs and apply to medical school. Good luck!

Baby Steps my friend: No point in focusing in interventional cardiology at this point in time. Focus on a solid foundation for internal medicine

Depends: There aren't any specific classes for high school but you could definitely take biology classes. In college definitely biology and physiology classes.

No: If you want to become an interventional cardiologist you should first get into medical school. Once in medical school you need to choose internal medicine for your residency. After residency- you apply for cardiology fellowship. After this fellowship, you apply once again for interventional cardiology. It's a long road with plenty of time to think about it as well. Good luck
