May I suggest you call a dietician. You'll find one at any hospital. They're a gteat help.
A session, should you needone, couldcost $ 100.00 or so, but it is worth it.
Be alert to the ads in your paper, sometimes dieticians give free presentations at a hospital. Withluck, one may be on tap, which would save you some $$$.
Do some googling and find thewebsites of your local hospital.
Good luck.

It wont cause any harm to your current problem which is angina. But you have to be aware that since you have heart problem you are also at high risk to get other problem such as diabetis etc. So watch out your sugar level.
Yes, it's true that one of the cause of angina is atherosclerosis which is deposition of lipids in your coronary artery. you may have to know the difference between athrosclerosis and arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is the deposition of lipids on your blood vessels. it can happen due to ageing.
Why do you get athero/arteriosclerosis?? it is because there is rupture to your blood vessel which then allowed the lipids to get into the membrane of your blood vessels. Usually you the lipids dont bother to get into the membrane of the blood vessels. One of the causes that can lead to blood vessels rupture is DIABETIS which is cause by high sugar intake.
I'm not saying that you cant take sugar but just be aware of the amount that you take. Prevention is better than cure. Now you get angina, if more and more deposition of fats occur in your blood vessels, it can cause more arteriosclerosis/atherosclerosis. Eventually if it is rupture, it can cause heart block, stroke and pulmonary embolism.

Stop the sugar. There are a number of substitutes
for the notorious rotter of teeth. And, even though
sugar is fine to ingest in moderation, an excess of
it can cause all sorts of other problems, (such as
hypertension, dehydration and acne.)
Some substitutes:
honey
cinnamon
oregano
nutmeg
They're all great for spicing up low-calorie snacks,
such as cottage cheese or yogurt; and they also
work well for every day sorts of breakfast, lunch or
dinner dishes--such as hot cereal, eggs, sausages
sandwiches, chili, hamburgers and/or hot dogs.
Last but not least, chocolate is very addictive, but
unfortunately, only the very dark, rich and extremely
expensive varieties contain antioxidants which can
lower your risk of cancer.
Hope that helps some.
Best of health & good luck.

Angina is not related to sugar intake. It is a sign that your arteries are clogged with plaque. You should find out what your blood cholesterol numbers are, and definitely see a doctor. If you want to go on a diet, reduce your fat content.

LDL cholesterol is your major concern, check out your numbers, and modify your diet to a stable low intake on fatty foods.

More related to blood lipids (fats) and cholesterol ...not to sugar or caffeine...caffeine is related to arrhythmia
You can get a CT scan of your heart to see the calcifications...
