Dr. Arash Bereliani Releases New Book on Women’s Heart Disease

Beverly Hills Cardiologist Publishes Book Addressing Female Heart Attack Signs and Symptoms

Beverly Hills, Aruba – May 1, 2026 / Beverly Hills Institute for Cardiology & Preventive Medicine /

Beverly Hills cardiologist Arash Bereliani, MD, FACC, has published “What About Her Heart,” a book dedicated to the distinct ways cardiovascular disease manifests in women. The title is now available on Amazon and addresses a documented gap in public awareness around female heart attack signs and how they differ from the symptoms most commonly associated with men.

A Book Built Around a Recognized Clinical Gap

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women in the United States, yet research has consistently shown that women are less likely than men to recognize their own cardiac symptoms or receive timely diagnosis. Dr. Bereliani, who practices in Beverly Hills and holds board certification from the American College of Cardiology, wrote “What About Her Heart” to bring that clinical reality into plain language for a general audience.

The book covers the full spectrum of cardiovascular risk in women, from early warning signs that are frequently dismissed or misattributed to other conditions, to the progression of more serious conditions such as congestive heart failure in women. Rather than relying on the chest-clutching, left-arm-pain narrative that dominates public perception, the book examines how women often experience pressure, nausea, jaw discomfort, fatigue, and shortness of breath – symptoms that do not always prompt an immediate call for emergency care.

What the Book Covers

“What About Her Heart” is structured to serve both women seeking to understand their own cardiac risk and the family members and caregivers around them. Dr. Bereliani draws on his clinical experience to explain how hormonal shifts across a woman’s lifespan – including pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause – interact with cardiovascular health and elevate risk in ways that are still underappreciated in routine medical settings.

The book also addresses women heart attack warning signs that studies suggest are underreported during emergency presentations, including atypical discomfort patterns that often lead to delayed treatment. A dedicated section examines congestive heart failure women face as a distinct population, including differences in how the condition progresses and responds to treatment compared to men.

“Women account for nearly half of all heart disease deaths in the U.S. each year, yet the majority of cardiovascular research published before 2000 was conducted primarily on male subjects,” said Arash Bereliani, MD, FACC, cardiologist and author of “What About Her Heart.” “This book exists because a woman sitting in a waiting room or talking to her daughter deserves access to the same level of detail I would give a patient in my office.”

Availability and Access

“What About Her Heart” is available now on Amazon in ebook format. The publication reaches readers at a time when cardiologists and patient advocacy groups have been calling for broader public education efforts aimed specifically at women, particularly in communities where access to specialist care remains limited.

Dr. Bereliani has practiced interventional and preventive cardiology in Beverly Hills for more than two decades and has been involved in patient education initiatives focused on cardiovascular risk reduction. The release of “What About Her Heart” extends that work beyond the clinic and into a format designed for broader public reach.
