Capital Cardiology
Associates (CCA)
Capital Cardiology Associates (CCA) was formed in 1990 through the merger of two leading practices in the New York Capital District that date back to the 1980s: Troy Cardiology Group and F2G2. With an initial focus on being available “anytime, anywhere, at a moment’s notice,” the practice sought to remove barriers to cardiac care throughout the community. Over time, CCA gained a strong reputation as the region’s premier cardiology practice, providing the most advanced cardiovascular services, compassionate care, and highly personalized attention designed to ensure exceptional medical treatment.
Today, CCA continues blazing new trails as one of the most innovative cardiovascular practices in the region, launching the first Enhanced Cardiac Access Walk-in Clinic in Corporate Woods in 2014. This unique concept makes cardiac care more accessible, providing fast evaluation of potential cardiac symptoms in an office setting and avoiding expensive emergency room visits. CCA was also the first independent practice to offer cardiac CT.
Why CCA Joined CVL
As CCA pondered the future of cardiovascular medicine and recognized the obstacles to remaining a private practice, the partners were open to a new operating model. They were drawn to CVL’s mission, resources, patient-centered focus, and out-of the-box thinking when it comes to advancing cardiovascular care.
What Sets CCA Apart
CCA provides patients access to the full range of diagnostic, interventional, surgical, therapeutic, and preventative services to treat cardiovascular disease. Named a 2023 Best Medical Specialist and a 2023 and 2024 Top Workplace, the practice continues to innovate with the addition of high-value services and techniques like the CADScor® System. This cutting-edge technology enables medical professionals to obtain real-time assessments, make informed decisions faster, and implement swift interventions in critical situations.
