'What About Her Heart' Now on Amazon, Covering Female Heart Attack Signs and Cardiac Risk
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 how cardiovascular disease presents differently in women. The title is available on Amazon and addresses a persistent gap in public understanding of female heart attack signs and the ways those signs diverge from the symptoms most commonly recognized in men.
A Book Built Around a Recognized Clinical Gap
Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in the United States, yet studies have repeatedly found that women are less likely than men to identify their own cardiac symptoms or receive a timely diagnosis. Dr. Bereliani, a Beverly Hills-based physician with 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 in women, from early symptoms that are often overlooked or attributed to unrelated conditions, to more advanced diagnoses such as congestive heart failure in women. Rather than relying on the familiar chest-pain narrative that shapes most public awareness, the book examines how women frequently report 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 serve women assessing their own cardiac risk as well as the family members and caregivers around them. Dr. Bereliani draws on his clinical background to explain how hormonal changes across a woman's life - including pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause - interact with cardiovascular health and increase risk in ways that continue to be underestimated in routine medical practice.
The book also examines women heart attack warning signs that research indicates are frequently underreported during emergency presentations, including atypical discomfort patterns that can contribute to delayed care. A dedicated section looks at congestive heart failure women face as a distinct group, covering differences in disease progression and treatment response 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 arrives as cardiologists and patient advocacy organizations continue to call 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 contributed to patient education initiatives centered on cardiovascular risk reduction. The release of "What About Her Heart" extends that work beyond the clinical setting and into a format intended for a wider public audience.
