MY HEART STORY
What a Heart Story
can look like.
One woman’s history, her questions and space for the next step she agrees on with her care team.
This fictional example shows a way to prepare for a visit after pregnancy complications.
The free My Heart Story web resource is available now. Prepare your history and questions, then add the follow-up you agree on with your care team. Save an editable draft to reopen later, or print a summary to share.
What I want to ask
“What follow-up do I need after pregnancy complications, and who should I contact with questions?”
What I want to share
“I had pregnancy complications and checked my blood pressure at home. I want to bring those readings to my appointment.”
Information to discuss: pregnancy and discharge notes, current medicines, and any home readings I want to share.
The plan we agree on
Complete with the care team.
- My next step
- Who will review it
- Follow-up date
- If I have not heard back
FOR CARE TEAMS & HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS
From a personal summary
to shared follow-through.
The patient tool helps a woman prepare her questions and record an agreed plan. HEART RESERVE is also developing an institutional platform to connect review, accepted responsibility, due dates, results and unresolved follow-up.
Explore the same fictional case from patient, care-team and program perspectives. This is a working demonstration; authenticated clinical use and independent clinical approval remain future work.

I’m Lisa Zahakos, RPA-C. My background includes interventional cardiology and preventive medicine. My own experience with pregnancy complications led me to create HEART RESERVE.
