The KLBJ-FM 93.7 FM morning host was asked recently to promote the HeartSaver CT , a test offered by Heart Hospital of Austin. He said "yes" but, first, he chose to undergo the procedure himself.
After reviewing the results, Dudley , 51, says it's a decision he's glad he made.
According to a story at austin360.com, doctors found a potential blockage in an artery that's known as "the widowmaker" because it can frequently lead to a massive heart attack.
"I always think of myself as indestructible," Dudley told me this week. "I don't want to face the possibility of something that could kill me."
The well-known radio host says he was motivated, in part, to get the procedure because his father died of a heart attack, and congestive heart failure took the lives of his mother and grandmother.
