Avid Golfer Back on Course

Frank Kinney, a retired utilities company executive and avid golfer, was diagnosed with heart failure several years ago after experiencing extreme fatigue and difficulty walking. He also suffered from atrial fibrillation, which often accompanies heart failure.

After being treated with medication for several years, Frank received St. Jude Medical's Atlas®+ HF ICD, a cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. The Atlas+ combines pacemaker and defibrillation therapy with bi-ventricular stimulation to treat the complexities of heart failure.

Since the implant, Frank has enthusiastically resumed his golf game and enjoys annual trips to Florida with his wife Maureen.
