can coronary artery disease be fatal? Yes, it can be fatal. In fact, if symptoms are ignored and help is not sought at an early stage, sometimes the buildup of plaque can continue to progress without appropriate treatment, and the major native artery can block off suddenly, which can result in a big heart attack that can be lethal. So if someone feels that they are having symptoms due to narrowing of these arteries or blockages in the arteries, they must not ignore these symptoms and seek immediate help.
