FOR CLINICIANS · REVIEWERS · PILOT PARTNERS

Review one bounded part of the work.

HEART RESERVE is seeking correction, clinical guidance, and careful pilot design. This is not a request for endorsement. Begin with one exact question, one tool, or one workflow.

Offer a focused review

Three layers · kept separate

Evidence, synthesis, and a proposal are not the same thing.

01

Established evidence

Recognized adverse pregnancy outcomes are associated with later cardiovascular risk. Midlife and menopause are important times to revisit blood pressure, lipids, glucose, symptoms, family history, function, and prevention in the individual clinical context.

02

Lisa's educational synthesis

HISTORY, FLOW, BEAT, PUMP, and POWER organize different parts of a woman's cardiovascular story. The checks and worksheets help a person prepare for care; they do not calculate risk or direct care.

03

The proposed workflow

ASK · RECORD · RESPOND is a quality-improvement concept for asking pregnancy history, preserving it in a durable longitudinal record, and considering it alongside current symptoms and established risk factors. It requires clinical, workflow, privacy, equity, and statistical review before pilot use.

The boundary

What this is not.

Choose a contribution

A useful review can stay small.

No open-ended advisory role is assumed. Choose the lane that matches your expertise; Lisa will send a focused draft, its current sources, and the exact questions that need an answer.

01

Focused clinical accuracy

Review one defined passage, tool, or clinical distinction for accuracy, missing context, and appropriate boundaries.

Choose this review lane
02

Workflow + informatics

Pressure-test ASK · RECORD · RESPOND against real visit flow, durable EHR documentation, and retrieval across time.

Choose this review lane
03

Patient language + equity

Review clarity, burden, trauma-aware language, access, and where the tool may fail women or widen gaps.

Choose this review lane
04

Pilot design + evaluation

Strengthen eligibility, privacy, feasibility measures, analysis, and the decision rules required before any scale-up.

What reviewers receive

A defined scope before you say yes.

  1. 01

    One bounded item

    A page, passage, question set, or workflow—not the entire platform unless mutually agreed.

  2. 02

    The evidence lane

    Current source notes plus a clear distinction between established guidance, Lisa's synthesis, and open questions.

  3. 03

    Exact review questions

    Accuracy, omissions, unintended implications, usable wording, feasibility, and reasons to stop or revise.

  4. 04

    Your attribution choice

    Corrections may be uncredited. A name, title, affiliation, quotation, or logo appears only after written approval of the exact use.

HEART RESERVE
CLINICIAN + REVIEWER BRIEFCurrent status · September 2026

Prepared by Lisa Zahakos, PA-C

Pregnancy history first. Midlife checkpoint next. Prevention throughout.

HEART RESERVE is an independent women's cardiovascular-health education project. It connects pregnancy and reproductive history, menopause, established risk factors, symptoms, testing, and physical capacity across time.

Clinical-review draftNon-diagnosticNot validatedNo implied endorsement

The public education layer

Two separate patient-held tools help a woman organize pregnancy history and her current midlife heart-health picture. They do not submit or store answers, produce a score, diagnose, recommend testing, or replace individualized care.

The proposed clinical layer

ASK · RECORD · RESPOND is a proposed quality-improvement workflow: ask a brief pregnancy history, preserve what is known in a durable searchable record, and respond proportionately alongside current symptoms and established risk factors.

Review requested

  • Clinical accuracy, missing context, and exclusions
  • Patient wording, burden, privacy, trauma, and equity
  • EHR placement, retrieval, workflow, and implementation burden
  • Pilot eligibility, aggregate measures, analysis, and stop rules

Illustrative pilot—not a launched study

One supervised site with roughly 100–200 eligible visits could test whether the history is asked, recorded in a usable place, and followed by an appropriate documented response. Measures would address implementation—not promised health outcomes. Final design requires clinical, privacy, workflow, equity, informatics, and statistical review.
