Connected care for women’s cardiovascular health. Six independent clinical activities, one recognizable HEART RESERVE experience.
HEART RESERVE helps connect health clues into one Heart Story: understand what matters, ask better questions, and choose the next step with the clinical team. This professional education series carries that promise into evidence-based case decisions, from pregnancy history through metabolic and kidney health.
Choose the right activity.
Compare the clinical focus, proposed learning time and teaching format. Each activity can be reviewed and scoped independently.
Learning times are design targets or estimates, not verified durations. A timed pilot and accredited-provider determination are pending; CME/CE credit has not been designated.

The national HFpEF extension
Three proposed interactive virtual conferences extend Activity 05 into a defined 2027 program with faculty notes, new case assessments and 60-day follow-up. The $179,000 prospective, unquoted estimate replaces the previous standalone HF budget. Review the program and grant package.
A consistent learner experience
Brief baseline questions before the teaching. Three teaching cases with immediate reasoning. Optional recap media for the five foundation activities; full video lessons or equivalent text in the expanded HFpEF activity. Narration uses Lisa’s authorized saved voice. Final questions, a short evaluation and a clear completion summary. Back/Next navigation and local saved progress keep the reference experience simple. No written assignment is required.
What the myCME benchmarks contribute
| Verified example | Useful design feature | How HEART RESERVE applies it |
|---|---|---|
| Obesity Management During Women’s Reproductive Years | Public publisher page: one-hour text module; Lilly support; faculty, objectives, disclosures, assessment and evaluation. | A one-hour monograph design, clear case decisions and short optional media, with original cases and voice. |
| ASCVD Risk Decision Aid to Inform Lipid-Lowering Therapy | Public landing page: one-hour case-based decision aid; Merck independent educational support. | Make the next clinical action visible and provide a concise reference tool. |
| Reaching New Heights in Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Care | Public catalog/metadata: 90-minute webcast; Clinical Care Options/Decera; Boehringer Ingelheim and Lilly support. | Use its topic relevance while retaining the requested shorter, monograph-led format. |

One brand, a clear clinical purpose
Newsreader headings, Inter text, warm ivory, deep wine and restrained red match the current HEART RESERVE website. Lisa’s authorized saved HeyGen voice is the production default. Clinical diagrams and teaching slides carry the evidence; no synthetic clinician face is required. Any decorative motion must remain separate from diagnostic images or representations of actual clinical evidence.
Funding architecture
Lead with the strongest independent proposal for each funder. The obesity/diabetes activity is the initial endocrine proposal; the kidney activity has a particularly close published Bayer CKD fit. The new hyperkalemia activity targets AstraZeneca’s currently published funding area with a $60,850 prospective, unquoted scope. The pregnancy-prevention activity retains a cardiovascular/lipid funding track, while reproductive medication counseling can be proposed as a distinct endocrine extension where priorities support it. Do not force all six into one application just because they share a website.
If a funder invites a series, document the additional need served by each course, deduplicate shared content and costs, and report both per-activity completion and unique people across the collection. Four course completions by one clinician are four completions and one person. Keep brand ownership, educational independence, dissemination rights and funder reporting clear in the agreements.
Native myCME hosting
This website is the content and reference player for partner review. The production host must implement the approved learner records, assessment reporting, accessible media, faculty/disclosures, release dates and credit claiming. Each download includes material for that handoff. The current player is not represented as an accepted native myCME import.
Before release
Complete independent clinical and full media review, a timed target-audience pilot, and native platform/accessibility acceptance. Confirm each activity’s provider, faculty, disclosures, duration and credit. The educational work is available for review now; those release decisions are not presumed.
