You may not know Carol Barr, but in the future, she could save your life. Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heart valve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. It can, in some cases, lead to death. Now, thanks to the cardiovascular advances in research and Opportunities Legacy (CAROL) Act—legislation named in honor of Barr that allocates funding through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to study heart valve disease
