HeartFirst Toolkit

Practical tools for
heart-risk clarity.

The HeartFirst Toolkit brings together resources for organising what is known, naming what may still be unknown, preparing better health-team conversations, and choosing one useful next action.

Toolkit logic

The point is not more information. It is usable preparation.

Most people do not need another pile of downloads. They need a way to turn results, family history, risk signals, symptoms, worries, and next questions into something they can actually use.

01
Known
Capture verified results, dates, units, family history, medicines, and current concerns without trying to interpret everything at once.
02
Unknown
Name what is missing: untested markers, unclear context, incomplete records, family patterns, or results that do not yet make sense.
03
To discuss
Turn uncertainty into focused questions for your health team, not a long unsorted list of anxieties.
04
Next action
Choose one practical action: request a test, send a portal message, gather records, prepare a visit, or begin a prevention habit.
Available now

The current toolkit starts with clarity and fast reference.

This page will expand as more standalone tools are released. For now, the strongest resources are the HeartFirst product pathway and the public briefing library.

Being prepared

Tools that will become standalone resources.

Some tools begin inside products, then mature into public or standalone resources when the structure is strong enough to stand on its own.

Interactive Clarity Check
A web-based version of the Clarity Check for step-by-step use, designed to help people move through Known, Unknown, To discuss, and Next action without losing the thread.
Lp(a) Result Tracker
A one-page tracker for Lp(a) value, unit, date, family history, related markers, and health-team questions.
Appointment Prep Sheet
A focused way to organise results, concerns, symptoms, medicines, questions, and decision points before a health-team visit.
Lipid Panel Guide
A careful walkthrough of standard cholesterol results, what they can show, and what they usually do not include unless separately ordered.
Family Risk Starter
A practical resource for beginning inherited-risk conversations without panic, blame, or vague warning language.
Portal Message Bundle
Short templates for requesting records, asking about Lp(a), clarifying test results, and preparing the next health-team conversation.
How to use the toolkit

Use tools at the point of friction.

A good tool should reduce cognitive load. The Toolkit is organised around moments when people usually get stuck.

After a new result
Record the value, unit, date, and context. Do not rush interpretation. Identify what is known, what remains unknown, and what deserves discussion.
Before an appointment
Bring a cleaner snapshot, a shorter question list, and one clear reason for the visit. Preparation protects limited clinical time.
When family risk appears
Use structure to begin the conversation without creating fear. Inherited risk is shared information, not shared blame.
When waiting for care
Use the waiting period to gather records, clarify questions, start appropriate lifestyle actions, and prepare the next health-team conversation.

The boundary stays clear.

Toolkit resources are educational and organisational aids. They help you prepare. They do not diagnose, treat, or replace personalised medical advice.

Use the tools to structure the conversation — not to self-diagnose. If symptoms may be urgent, seek urgent medical care. If you are uncertain about a result, medicine, symptom, or personal risk decision, discuss it with your health team.
