LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey said she underwent a heart procedure over the summer after doctors “accidentally” discovered a blocked artery in her heart.
Mulkey, 61, says doctors discovered a coronary artery was almost completely blocked. She initially said she had gone to seek medical help for an undisclosed ongoing problem.
Mulkey ended up having two stents placed in a coronary artery in June.
“I never felt bad” Mulkey said, via ESPN. “I’m still a little in shock that we discovered this by accident. My message in sharing this is: if you’re over 50, go get a stress test.
