Capital Cardiology Associates

What Capital Cardiology Associates does

Capital Cardiology Associates is a privately held, physician-owned cardiology practice headquartered at 7 Southwoods Boulevard in Albany, New York, operating seven locations across the Capital Region — including Albany, Clifton Park, Troy, Niskayuna, Saratoga Springs, Coxsackie, and Cairo — with three walk-in Enhanced Cardiac Access (ECA) clinics that have operated for twelve years without requiring a referral. The practice delivers the full spectrum of cardiovascular services: preventive cardiology, diagnostic imaging (echocardiography, CT, cardiac PET/CT, stress testing, Holter monitoring), interventional cardiology (cardiac catheterization, PCI, chronic total occlusion, peripheral vascular), electrophysiology (ablation, pacemaker and ICD implants, WATCHMAN), structural heart (TAVR, EVOQUE tricuspid valve replacement, TriClip), heart failure management including Barostim neuromodulation, cardiac rehabilitation, cardiometabolic care, cardio-oncology, and an Enhanced Weight Management program. Technical infrastructure centers on advanced cardiac imaging — GE Omni PET/CT, GE CardioGraphe dedicated cardiovascular CT scanner — combined with Cleerly AI-guided coronary CT angiography and the eScribe electronic health records/patient portal platform; remote monitoring is delivered via the CCA Connected Cardiology program using consumer devices including AliveCor Kardia Mobile.

The business is a professional services and diagnostic/therapeutic facility practice, generating revenue from fee-for-service patient care billed primarily through major commercial and government insurance plans. The practice maintains a clinical affiliation with Albany Medical Center for complex structural heart and advanced procedures, participates in clinical research, and has discontinued Workers' Compensation coverage effective January 2026. Leadership includes Dr. Lance E. Sullenberger (CEO), Dr. Augustin DeLago (President, a TAVR-focused structural heart specialist), Kevin Longacker (COO), Patricia Dickson (Director of Operations), and Dr. Kate Cabral (Director of Cardiometabolic Services). Practice formation traces to the 2022 merger of two earlier Albany- and Troy-based cardiology groups under the shared premise of removing access barriers to cardiac care in the Capital Region.

Broad incumbents

• Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute (Atrium Health): Hospital-affiliated cardiovascular institute offering comprehensive cardiology and structural heart services in a multi-state region. Comparable in service breadth (TAVR, EP, imaging, heart failure) but operates within a larger health system rather than as an independent practice like CCA.
• Novant Health Heart & Vascular Institute: Integrated heart and vascular service line within Novant Health serving the Carolinas, with full-service cardiology, structural heart, and cardiac rehab programs. Comparable comprehensive service mix to CCA but embedded in a multi-hospital system.
• Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute: National reference cardiovascular program offering the full spectrum of cardiac care including pioneering structural heart, advanced imaging, and cardiac rehab. Comparable in service breadth and pioneering-procedure positioning, but operates at a national quaternary scale.
• ColumbiaDoctors Cardiology: Academic cardiology practice of Columbia/NewYork-Presbyterian offering general and interventional cardiology, EP, and structural heart. Comparable in advanced cardiac service capabilities but anchored to a large academic medical center.

Emerging players

• U.S. Heart & Vascular: PE-backed national cardiology platform aggregating independent cardiology practices across multiple states. Operates in the same cardiology practice space as CCA but at a multi-state consolidated scale; represents a potential competitive entrant or strategic acquirer of CCA.

Direct peers

• Cardiovascular Institute of the South: Large independent, physician-owned cardiology group practice with multiple regional locations offering the full continuum of cardiac care (imaging, interventional, EP, structural heart). Highly comparable in business model, service mix, and multi-site integrated cardiology platform structure to CCA.
• Cardiology Associates of Schenectady: Independent cardiology group practice in the immediate Capital Region market. Direct local competitor offering general and consultative cardiology services with overlapping patient geography to CCA.

Regional players

• Albany Medical Center Heart & Vascular: Capital Region academic medical center cardiology program and CCA's primary clinical affiliate for advanced structural heart procedures. Overlapping in service offerings but operating from a hospital/inpatient base rather than independent outpatient practice.
• St. Peter's Health Partners: Capital Region NY hospital system that operates cardiac services in the same Albany-area market as CCA. Comparable in providing structural heart and general cardiology, but as a hospital-employed model rather than CCA's independent practice model.
• Stony Brook Heart Institute: Long Island / NY-based academic cardiovascular program offering comprehensive cardiac services including structural heart, EP, and advanced imaging. Comparable geographic footprint (NY) and service mix but hospital-based rather than independent practice.
