Expressing support for the annual Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day on February 22, 2022, coinciding with American Heart Month.

HRES 916 is a symbolic resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day on February 22, 2022, during American Heart Month. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but formally acknowledges the impact of heart valve disease - afflicting an estimated 11.6 million Americans and causing 25,000 deaths annually - by urging increased public awareness of its risks, symptoms, and treatment options. The resolution supports efforts to improve detection, education, and resources for at-risk individuals, though it has no direct effect on policy or affected individuals. As a non-binding expression of support, it serves solely to highlight the issue without mandating action.
