Over 25,000 Americans, predominately young women, die from valvular heart disease each year. The CAROL Act supports research and public awareness of valvular heart disease through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) with the aim of diminishing these numbers to prevent the tragedy of sudden cardiac death.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:13:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://barr.house.gov/press-releases?ID=34F61426-A9DE-4246-A024-24C781C02BB8"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6146440282464027, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
