Variable: The narrowing of coronary artery with rupture of a plaque and thrombosis can lead to heart attack and cardiac arrest even with moderate disease. That is why it is so important to modify your risk factors. At the same someone with severe narrowing may remain asymptomatic till they suddenly have a heart attack.
