Some common treatments include: Cardiac Catheterization : A minimally invasive procedure where a thin tube (catheter) is inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart. It can be used to diagnose or treat certain heart defects. This involves opening the chest and heart to make the necessary repairs.

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. The PRIMARY trial is directed by Joanna Chikwe, MD, chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai. It can, in some cases, lead to death.
