St. Jude device gives early warning on heart failure

Joe Jones has been hospitalized half a dozen times for heart failure.

Most recently, the north Minneapolis man was discharged from Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) on his birthday, Dec. 30. But Jones, 56, knew from experience that it wouldn’t be long before he felt that familiar shortness of breath again and would have to go back to the emergency room.
