ARASH BERELIANI,
MD, FACC
Cardiologist & Internist | Beverly Hills Institute for Cardiology
& Preventive Medicine | Beverly Hills, CA. Associate Professor
| UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine | Los Angeles, California
Who He Is: A well-known Cardiologist who has dedicated his
life to creating a new diagnostic algorithm combined with a very
unique and effective integrative treatment plan to PREVENT as
many heart attacks as possible and to change the demographics
of heart disease as the number one killer. His personal belief is
that no one should die of a heart attack before reaching 100. Ultimately
he hopes to one day eliminate, or at least significantly
reduce heart attacks and strokes around the world.
A Specialized Cardiologist: Unique In His Field: His father and
brother suffered from serious heart diseases, which prompted
him to become a cardiologist. He specializes in PREVENTIVE cardiology
and created a very unique algorithm that can predict a
person’s risk of heart attack within the next 5 and 10 years.
Importance Of Research: Because of active research, we can
now identify many genetic causes of heart disease and create
treatments for them. Another great example active research, is
using stem cell technology to reverse and regenerate parts of
the heart that died after a heart attack (in other words, in the
very near future we will be able to reverse a heart attack!).
Knowledge is Key: He teaches and has been very involved in
teaching medical students, residents and cardiology fellows since
2003. He has regular speaking events in communities around
Los Angeles where he educates ordinary people about preventing
heart disease and stroke. Philanthropic endears include
creating a non-profit organization to raise money for low income
families to get proper testing and treatments for heart disease
Rewards: Especially passionate about his new program, called
HAPI (Heart Attack Prevention Institute), created based on 14 years
of research and experience. He considers taking care of patients
a privilege and is extremely fortunate to be able to make such a
profound difference in people’s lives. He considers himself extremely
successful judging by his many loyal patients, but more importantly
by the fact in his almost 15 years of practice he hasn’t
had one patient under his care who has suffered a heart attack.
