Yes of course it can! It may lead to a cardiovascular disease. Also a rotten tooth may cause a Heart disease.
An infected tooth may cause myocarditis which is the weakening of the heart muscle, but it can't cause, at least directly, a heart attack. If not treated it may lead to many serious health troubles. However, except for uncultured people, living in undeveloped countries, it is very simple to cure.

Is blood pressure fluctuation related to abscessed teeth that have not yet been extracted?
Yes. I had an abcessed tooth for about a year and I did not know it. My blood pressure was really weird during that time, as soon as I went on antibiotics and then had a root canal done, my blood pressure went back to normal. I also had a cousin who had a tooth abscessed and she did not know it. Well she died and they did an autopsy on her because they did not know her cause of death and they found pus in her heart cavity leading down from where the tooth was.

A decaying tooth can spread bacteria into the bloodstream, and the lining (the endocardium) and valves of the heart are sites where these bacteria tend to form colonies (so-called vegetations), leading to a condition called infective endocarditis, resulting in the destruction of the valve, or even stroke (parts of vegetation can form emboli (plugs) in the brain).
