Capitol Cardiology Associates

What Capitol Cardiology Associates does

Capitol Cardiology Associates is a private, multi-site cardiology medical practice founded in 1991 by Dr. Aroor Rao and headquartered in Lanham, Maryland. The practice delivers comprehensive cardiovascular care across eight Maryland clinic locations spanning the Washington DC metropolitan suburbs (Bowie, Camp Springs, Glenn Dale, Hyattsville, Lanham, Largo, Laurel, and Silver Spring), serving roughly 51–100 employees and 12 or more board-certified cardiologists plus advanced practice providers.

Service lines span preventive cardiology, diagnostic imaging (echocardiography, stress testing, cardiac PET, nuclear cardiology, MUGA, Holter/event monitoring), interventional procedures (cardiac catheterization, coronary angioplasty and stenting, carotid angioplasty), electrophysiology (ablation, pacemaker and ICD implantation), and a dedicated Vascular Center for peripheral artery disease. The group holds admitting privileges at Luminis Health Doctors Community Hospital and University of Maryland Capital Regional Health, and accepts most major insurance including Medicare and Medicaid.

The business model is professional-services fee-for-service, monetized through office consultations, diagnostic testing, interventional procedures, and hospital-based procedural work reimbursed under payer contracts. Patient acquisition runs through physician referral networks, direct self-referral, local SEO-optimized location pages, online appointment booking, and an educational blog targeting the regional catchment. The practice is physician-owned with no disclosed private equity or venture backing.
