I know about Stable, Printzmetal's (also know as Variant), Unstable, Vincent's. I've just watched a TV programme which referred to Ludwig's angina (which I had never heard of ) and I wondered if there were any more.

Angina Pectoris is the name given to the heart condition associated with decreased coronary blood flow.
Its various presentation has given rise to various names eg. Stable, Printzmetal, unstable, etc.. There is also another type in this group which describes chest pain on lying down i.e. Angina decubitus.
The name Angina has also been used to describe non-cardiac condition eg Ludwig's angina for a throat infection
Angina Cruris is pain in the buttocks regions on walking and is a manifestation of Le Riche syndrome.
I hope this answers your question.

Those are the only ones I know. Some people have silent MIs which are not anginas.
