Before dieting get checked out. See your GP (if you don't have one, find one) for a full physical and baseline lab tests. Your Physician can then craft for you a safe and effective weight loss program that will not place stress on your heart. Note also that your Physician may want you to consult with a Nutritionist.

How much you eat is more important than the type of diet you pursue. You need to reduce your intake to induce a negative caloric balance. Also gradually increase you physical activity. Joining a support group like Weight Watchers may help.
