HEART RESERVE | October 27, 2026
Founded by Lisa Zahakos, RPA-C

OUR GOAL
Make pregnancy history a lasting part of every woman’s heart care, from postpartum through midlife and menopause, so she understands her history, knows her next step and can reach the care she needs.
Our long-term aim is fewer missed opportunities for prevention and better heart health for women.

The $1.2 million national planning scenario includes the $150,000 NJ pilot.
Proposed programs; partners, funding and approvals remain unconfirmed.

SEPARATE RESEARCH GOAL
Test whether pregnancy and reproductive history improve cardiovascular prediction and can support a validated risk-equivalent heart-age tool. This remains separate research; no HEART RESERVE pregnancy-adjusted score is clinically validated.
