Beverly Hills Cardiologist Puts 20 Years of Practice Into New Book

After 20 Years in Cardiology, Dr. Bereliani Publishes Book on Female Cardiac Symptoms

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

Beverly Hills cardiologist Arash Bereliani, MD, FACC, has released “What About Her Heart,” a book focused on the distinct ways cardiovascular disease develops and presents in women. The title is available on Amazon and speaks directly to a documented gap in public understanding of female heart attack signs and how those signs frequently differ from the cardiac symptoms most often associated with male patients.

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 found that women are less likely than men to recognize their own cardiac symptoms or receive a 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 translate that clinical reality into accessible language for a general audience.

The book spans the full range of cardiovascular risk in women, from early warning signs that are often dismissed or attributed to unrelated conditions, to the development of more serious diagnoses such as congestive heart failure in women. Rather than relying on the familiar chest-clutching, left-arm-pain narrative that dominates popular awareness, the book examines how women frequently experience pressure, nausea, jaw discomfort, fatigue, and shortness of breath – symptoms that do not always prompt an immediate call for emergency help.

What the Book Covers

“What About Her Heart” is organized to be useful both for women assessing their own cardiac risk and for the family members and caregivers around them. Dr. Bereliani draws on his clinical background to explain how hormonal changes across a woman’s lifespan – including pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause – interact with cardiovascular health and raise risk in ways that remain underappreciated in routine medical settings.

The book also examines women heart attack warning signs that research indicates are underreported during emergency presentations, including atypical discomfort patterns that contribute to delayed treatment. A dedicated section looks at the challenges of congestive heart failure women face as a distinct patient population, including differences in how the condition advances and responds to treatment when compared to outcomes in 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 arrives at a moment when cardiologists and patient advocacy organizations have been calling for broader public education efforts directed specifically at women, particularly in communities where access to specialist care is 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 centered on cardiovascular risk reduction. The release of “What About Her Heart” extends that work beyond the clinic into a format intended for wider public reach.
