✨ A few easy steps for January:
• Schedule a routine wellness visit

💡 What is the Carillon Mitral Contour System?

It’s a small device placed in a vein behind the heart to help reduce mitral regurgitation, a “leak” that can worsen heart failure. By gently reshaping the mitral valve, the Carillon device can improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
SLHV is one of the few centers in the nation offering this innovative therapy through the EMPOWER Trial.
