News Outlook
March 04, 2021 9
This past year brought un-
certainty and change for ev-
ery American as families and
Communities grappled with
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unfortunately, many experi-
enced tragedy and loss. For
me and my family, our world
forever changed on June
2020, when I tragically lost
my beloved wife Carol to
sudden cardiac arrest. She
was only 39 years old. Carol’s
greatest legacy is our two
beautiful daughters, Eleanor
(age 9) and Mary Clay (age
7). She was the best wife,
mother, daughter, sister, and
friend anyone could ever
have.
The medical examiner
and Carol’s doctors told us
that her fatal heart attack
was likely brought on by a
ventricular arrhythmia. At a
young age, Carol had been di-
agnosed with an underlying
condition called mitral valve
prolapse (MVP), or floppy
valve syndrome—a typically
benign condition that results
in sudden cardiac death in
only .2% of cases.
As we recognize American
Heart Month and as people
across the nation work to
raise awareness for 'heart
disease this February, I am
honoring my wife’s legacy
by fighting back against the
disease that took her life. On
February 22, Heart Valve
Disease Awareness Day, I in-
troduced the Cardiovascular
Advances in Research and
Opportunities Legacy (CAR-
OL) Act.
The CAROL Act addresses
the gaps in understanding
about what risk factors make
valvular heart disease a po-
tentially life-threatening con-
dition. Specifically, the bill
authorizes a grant program,
administered by the National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Insti-
COM M u N ITY
' Honoring carol Barr Irv Tallinn on Heart Valve liisease
tute (NHLBI), to support re-
search on valvular heart dis-
ease, including MVP. Many
Americans who suffer from
MVP or other valvular heart
diseases do not know they
are at serious risk.
Investments in modern
day medicine and research
can change that. Our bill will
encourage the utilization of
technological imaging and
precision medicine to gener-
ate data on individuals with
valvular heart disease. Criti-
cally, this research will help
identify Americans at high
risk of sudden cardiac death
from the disease and develop
prediction models for high-
risk patients, enabling inter-
ventions and treatment plans
to keep these patients healthy
throughout their lives.
Additionally, the legislation
will convene a working group
of subject matter experts to
identify research needs and
opportunities to develop pre-
scriptive guidelines for treat-
ment of patients with MVP. It
will also instruct the Centers
for Disease Control and Pre-
vention (CDC) to increase
public awareness regarding
symptoms of valvular heart
disease and effective strate—
gies for preventing sudden
cardiac death.
We must take on valvular
heart disease directly to save
lives at risk of being taken
too soon. Underdiagnosis
and undertreatment of heart
valve disease contribute to
over 25,000 deaths each year
in the United States. Predic-
tors of sudden cardiac death,
however, are poorly under—
stood and indicators of high-
risk individuals are hard to
pinpoint.
For example, the specific
condition that Carol was di—
agnosed with, MVP, is a com-
mon heart valve disease that
has an estimated 2.4% preva-
lence in the general popula-
tion. Though most cases are
thought to be benign, re-
ported complications such as
severe mitral regurgitation
can result in sudden cardiac
death. Medical research has
found an association between
MVP and sudden cardiac
death, which predominantly
affects young females with
redundant bileaflet prolapse,
with cardiac arrest usually
occurring as a result of ven-
tricular arrhythmias. Despite
several studies, there is still
not sufficient data to gener-
ate prescriptive guidelines
for care of patients with val-
vular heart disease, including
MVP.
Carol Barr dedicated her
life to the future of our daugh-
ters, serving others, and
making a positive difference,
in her community. So turning
this unspeakable tragedy into
something that can inform
others and save lives is exact-
ly what she would have want-
ed. The CAROL Act will pro-
vide the resources needed
and generate the awareness
required to reduce the 25,000
deaths related to valvular
heart disease every year, sav-
ing young women like Carol
from leaving us too soon. If
you would like to support
our legislation, please call or
write your Congressman and
join our cause. Together, we
can help other families avoid
the tragedy that has so pro-
foundly impacted mine.
