Bereliani Book Serves Women and Caregivers on Heart Disease Risk

‘What About Her Heart’ Designed for Women and Caregivers Seeking Female Heart Attack Facts

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 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 they diverge from the symptoms most commonly associated with male patients.

A Book Built Around a Recognized Clinical Gap

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death among women in the United States, yet studies have repeatedly shown that women are less likely than men to recognize their own cardiac symptoms or receive a timely diagnosis. Dr. Bereliani, a Beverly Hills-based physician holding board certification from the American College of Cardiology, wrote “What About Her Heart” to translate that clinical reality into accessible language for general readers.

The book spans the full range of cardiovascular risk as it applies to women, from early symptoms that are routinely dismissed or attributed to unrelated conditions, to the development of more advanced issues such as congestive heart failure women face as a distinct patient group. Rather than reinforcing the familiar chest-clutching, left-arm-pain narrative, the book examines how women frequently report pressure, nausea, jaw discomfort, fatigue, and shortness of breath – symptoms that do not always trigger an immediate emergency response.

What the Book Covers

“What About Her Heart” is organized to serve both women looking to understand their own cardiac risk and the family members and caregivers in their lives. Dr. Bereliani draws on his clinical background to explain how hormonal changes throughout a woman’s life – spanning pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause – interact with cardiovascular health and raise risk in ways that remain underrecognized in standard medical settings.

The book also addresses women heart attack warning signs that research indicates are underreported during emergency presentations, including atypical discomfort patterns that can contribute to delayed treatment. A dedicated section examines the experience of congestive heart failure women encounter, 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 as cardiologists and patient advocacy organizations have been pushing for broader public education efforts directed specifically at women, particularly in areas 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 participated in patient education initiatives centered on cardiovascular risk reduction. The release of “What About Her Heart” carries that effort outside the clinical setting and into a format designed for wider public reach.
