Show full summary
- Researchers: The NIH and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute can fund studies using advanced imaging and other methods to learn causes and risk factors. The Institute must convene a workshop within two years to identify research needs and recommendations for mitral valve prolapse, including risks for sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death.
- Patients and families: HHS can award grants and contracts and provide technical assistance to improve public awareness of symptoms and risk factors. Projects may be prioritized for populations most affected by valvular heart diseases.
- Public health and clinicians: The law supports continuing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activities, aims to improve data quality on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, and requires HHS to identify and share best practices for health care providers.
*Authorizes up to $28 million per year in appropriations for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to support these research, prevention, awareness, and data activities on valvular heart diseases.*
