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.

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.

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.

Today’s Capital Cardiology Minute: Coronary Calcium Scoring

Dr. Lance Sullenberger breaks down coronary calcium scoring, what it is, what it measures, and why it matters for your heart health.

Coronary calcium scoring is a quick, non-invasive scan that looks for calcium in the coronary arteries. It helps identify early plaque buildup and gives patients and providers a clearer picture of future heart-risk, even before symptoms appear.

Understanding your score can guide prevention, treatment, and peace of mind.

Today’s snowfall is dense, wet, and much heavier than it looks.
We want to remind all Capital Cardiology patients to take extra care while clearing driveways and walkways. Heavy, moisture-rich snow puts added strain on your heart, especially when lifting or throwing it. Move at a comfortable pace, use smaller shovel loads, and take breaks so your heart rate can settle. If you feel chest pressure, unusual shortness of breath, or dizziness, stop immediately and call 911. Morning shoveling can be especially stressful, so give yourself time to wake up, warm up, and prepare before heading out.

Protect your heart, pace yourself, and stay safe during today’s cleanup.
