While a layman may come to the obvious conclusion that a stimulant such as caffeine may be inappropriate for a cardiac patient, this is patently a question that should be asked of one's personal physician.
Only your own doctor - or other medical professional - having personal knowledge of your situation, can provide a meaningful answer to what food and/or drink you should have, and in what quantities.
I urge that any who wonder about such things consult with a qualified medical professional at once.

How does too much caffeine in a day kill a person?
Caffeine increases your blood pressure and heart rate. It stimulates the cardiovascular system. If too much caffeine is present, it can stimulate the heart to the point of ventricular fibrillation, which can lead to rapid cardiac arrest and death. It is very difficult to overdose on caffeine using coffee, but caffeine pills are easy to overdose on and deaths have been reported from caffeine pills. They should be used with caution. One or two of the average caffeine pill should be enough for most people to get a coffee-like buzz.
