A member asked:

How serious is a circumflex artery blockage that is 90%? would this likely be fatal and if so, how long before one would have that result on average?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Coronary artery : High grade circumflex disease coul be the cause of angina or infarction. It could be fatal but less likely than LAD disease. If well treated you could live a long time with that disease and something else could get you. Smoke and don't work on your condition and chances in infarction are excellent.
