The coronary circulation consists of the blood vessels that supply blood to, and remove blood from, the heart muscle itself. Although blood fills the chambers of the heart, the muscle tissue of the heart, or myocardium, is so thick that it requires coronary blood vessels to deliver blood deep into the myocardium. The vessels that supply blood high in oxygen to the myocardium are known as coronary arteries. The vessels that remove the deoxygenated blood from the heart muscle are known as cardiac veins.
The coronary arteries that run on the surface of the heart are called epicardial coronary arteries. These arteries, when healthy, are capable of autoregulation to maintain coronary blood flow at levels appropriate to the needs of the heart muscle. These relatively narrow vessels are commonly affected by atherosclerosis and can become blocked, causing angina or a heart attack.
The coronary arteries are classified as "end circulation", since they represent the only source of blood supply to the myocardium: there is very little redundant blood supply, which is why blockage of these vessels can be so critical.


Now as far as cure is concerned, Please get yours angiography, and see how much blockage is there. If blockage is less than 50%, then medication will cure it. If it is more, then Cardiologist will decide to have angioplastery (Stents insertion), or CABG (Bypass surgery) is required. With so little details, it is difficult to tell that is Angina curable.
I am definite, yes Angina is curable, but which method only detail tests will tell.

Depends on the type (cause) there are recorded cases of Angina being cured from exercise. However, most cases are not curable, even bypass surgery doesn't guarantee it.
