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. The PRIMARY trial is directed by Joanna Chikwe, MD, chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai.
