St. Jude Medical Device is My Lifesaver

Bobby has battled heart disease for many years. He endured major double-bypass surgeries to treat blockages of his heart and carotid arteries. He was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, which left him extremely tired and vulnerable to infections and fluid build-up in his lungs. When doctors recommended a cardiac resynchronization therapy device, Bobby—a former aerospace quality engineer—researched his options and chose St. Jude Medical’s Atlas®+ HF CRT-D with QuickOpt™ Timing Cycle Optimization.

Since the implant, Bobby feels “healthy and energetic.” Although officially retired, he still works as a realtor and enjoys traveling, classical music, movies and community activities.
