Tampa Cardiovascular Associates

What Tampa Cardiovascular Associates does

Tampa Cardiovascular Associates (TCA) is a private cardiology and vascular care practice founded in 2003 in Tampa, Florida, operating three locations across the Tampa Bay area (Fletcher Avenue, Armenia Avenue, and Wesley Chapel). The practice is staffed by four board-certified cardiologists with fellowship training across interventional cardiology, structural heart, preventive cardiology, peripheral vascular disease, and geriatric medicine, supported by a nationally certified nurse practitioner, a board-certified nuclear medicine technologist, and a registered diagnostic cardiac sonographer. TCA offers a full continuum of cardiovascular and venous care, including general cardiology, interventional procedures (angioplasty, stenting), structural heart procedures (TAVR, MitraClip, Watchman), peripheral vascular disease management, and a dedicated Vein Center offering sclerotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, microphlebectomy, and VenaSeal closure.

The practice's core technical infrastructure centers on in-office diagnostic imaging accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission across three modalities (ICAEL echocardiography, ICANL nuclear imaging, ICAVL vascular imaging), enabling same-day diagnostic results without hospital referrals. Structural heart procedures use FDA-approved devices from Abbott (MitraClip), Boston Scientific (Watchman), and Edwards Lifesciences (TAVR), while venous treatments use Medtronic's VenaSeal closure system. Administrative workflows run on eClinicalWorks (patient portal and preregistration) and Healow (direct scheduling).

TCA operates on a fee-for-service professional-services revenue model across four streams: clinical consultations, diagnostic testing, interventional/structural procedures, and vein treatments. The practice accepts most major insurance plans, with self-pay options available for uninsured services; procedural revenue is supplemented when vein and structural heart procedures are deemed medically necessary. Patient acquisition is sales-led and runs through phone scheduling, online appointment requests, physician referrals from primary care and other specialists, and content marketing via a physician-authored blog. The practice holds 104 verified public reviews across Google, PatientConnect365, Facebook, and Birdeye. Ownership is concentrated among physician partners — Dr. Asad Sawar serves as managing partner — and the practice operates independently, with no disclosed private equity or venture capital sponsorship.

Broad incumbents

• Cardiovascular Associates of America (CVA): PE-backed cardiology platform actively acquiring independent cardiology practices like TCA across the U.S. Directly comparable as both a competitor (when acquiring rival groups in Florida) and a potential acquirer/partner for TCA given overlapping service lines in interventional and structural heart.
• US Heart & Vascular: PE-backed cardiovascular platform consolidating independent cardiology and vascular practices. Comparable as both a competitor to TCA in regional markets and a likely acquirer/partner for practices offering interventional cardiology, imaging, and vascular services.
• Tampa General Hospital Heart & Vascular Institute: Major academic health system in Tampa providing comprehensive interventional cardiology and structural heart programs. Direct local competitor for hospital-based structural heart procedures (TAVR, MitraClip, Watchman) and a referral destination that can influence TCA's patient funnel.
• AdventHealth Tampa Heart & Vascular Institute: Large regional health system offering cardiology, interventional, and structural heart services in the Tampa market. Comparable as a competing provider of advanced cardiovascular procedures that can pressure TCA's referrals and structural heart volume.
• BayCare Cardiovascular Services: Large Tampa Bay health system with employed cardiology group covering diagnostic, interventional, and structural heart services. Comparable as a competing provider that benefits from in-network steerage and integration with primary care referrals.
• HCA Florida Cardiology Specialists: Hospital-owned cardiology group within HCA's Florida network with broad outpatient cardiology coverage in the Tampa area. Direct local competitor with health-system capital and in-network leverage that can pressure independent practices like TCA.

Direct peers
