Congratulations to Capital Cardiology physicians Dr. Lance Sullenberger, Dr. Kevin Woods, Dr. Jeffrey Uzzilia, and Dr. Scott Purga on their newly published research in the European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging.

Their multi-center study of 750 patients examined how AI-assisted analysis of coronary CT scans can improve diagnostic confidence and clinical decision-making for coronary artery disease. The findings showed that AI-driven quantitative analysis led to changes in diagnosis or patient management in more than half of cases, reduced the need for additional testing, and increased appropriate use of preventive therapies.

Proud to see Capital Region physicians contributing to advances in cardiovascular imaging and patient care.

A first for the Capital Region.

Capital Cardiology Associates, in collaboration with Albany Medical Center, has successfully performed the first TriClip™ procedure in the region — a minimally invasive treatment option for certain patients with tricuspid valve disease.

This approach may offer new options for patients who are not candidates for traditional open-heart surgery.

Learn more about tricuspid valve disease, who may be a candidate, and how this advanced therapy is expanding care in our community.

At Capital Cardiology Associates, we remain committed to delivering the gold standard of cardiac care. Beginning January 1, 2026, our routine inpatient cardiology services will transition from Samaritan Hospital to Albany Medical Center and St. Peter’s Hospital, where our team has a larger, more coordinated presence.

Our Troy office at 2200 Burdett Avenue remains open, and we are working to introduce a new walk-in Enhanced Cardiac Access Clinic to provide faster access to care.

These changes will help us deliver more consistent and comprehensive cardiac services to patients across the Capital Region.

The holiday season is a time for connection, celebration, and reflection, but it can also quietly challenge our heart health. Busy schedules, rich foods, added stress, disrupted sleep, and delayed medical care all tend to stack up this time of year.

Our latest article on the CCA Blog, A Healthy Heart This Holiday Season, walks through why the holidays can be harder on your heart and offers practical, realistic strategies to help you enjoy the season while protecting your cardiovascular health.

From staying active and eating mindfully to managing stress, prioritizing rest, and recognizing warning signs, this piece is designed to empower you with information you can actually use.

We were honored to see Capital Cardiology Associates featured on WNYT NewsChannel 13 for a story that reflects the heart of our work beyond the exam room.

Through our CCA Gives Back program, Capital Cardiology donated a life-saving AED to Glens Falls Medical Mission, which provides care to medically underserved communities in Guatemala.

As shared in the story, this mission brings together physicians, dentists, students, and volunteers from across the country, working long days to ensure every patient is seen. This marks the first time an AED has been available at the clinic, adding an important layer of emergency preparedness.

We are grateful to WNYT NewsChannel 13 for highlighting this effort and the volunteers who make this work possible.
