Nutritional Counseling
“After working in the fast-paced hospital world, I am excited to join Capital Cardiology Associates to foster closer relationships with patients and be able to follow along with their journey in achieving better overall health. My philosophy on nutrition counseling is to start with small steps to help promote significant lifestyle changes. I am also a strong believer in the “everything in moderation” approach to nutrition and helping patients create a nutrition program that will work for them.” –Amanda Travis, MS, RD, CDN
Primary Care
We have state-of-the-art electronic health records (EHR) that allows us to access your records any time and anywhere. EHR records your medications and will send your records to your primary care physician, or any referring physician, and can also give you access to your records through our Patient Portal.
Emergency Care
If hospitalization is necessary, we will arrange for your admission, and in extreme cases, call for an ambulance. By using our ECA services, you can avoid an unnecessary trip to the Emergency Room and be admitted directly to a hospital bed, or to a cardiac catheterization lab as determined by the cardiologist who evaluates you.

Grew up in Schenectady. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Boston University, College of Arts and Science with dual major in Medical Science and Psychology. While at Boston University, he was enrolled in the seven-year accelerated medical program, was a recipient of the Distinguished Sophomore Award (given to the Top 40 students of the class year), and honored Phi Beta Kappa. He received his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine, where he was a recipient of the Anthony L.F. Gorman Prize in Physiology and honored Alpha Omega Alpha. While at Boston University, Dr. Purga was an Introduction to Clinical Medical Instructor. Dr. Purga’s post graduate training was at New York Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center with a residency in Internal Medicine. He subsequently completed a fellowship in Cardiovascular Disease at Albany Medical Center.

Stress Management
Cardiac rehab is one of several steps necessary to come to terms with life after a heart attack. After your hospital visit, you will meet with your cardiologist to begin, “something called cardiac rehabilitation, which we recommend to all heart attack patients,” said Dr. Benton. Heart patients accept that they will now have a working relationship with their cardiologist that starts as regular office visits. “It’s about two to three times a week for about six weeks. You’ll do exercises and learn about diet and stress management. Those are things that we, the medical profession, provide.” At home, your loved one will rely on you to help them get exercise, eat healthier, manage their stress, take their medications, and make any lifestyle changes their doctor recommends.

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
According to the American Heart Association, “echocardiography, also called an echo test or heart ultrasound, is a test that takes ‘moving pictures’ of the heart with sound waves. You don’t have to stay in the hospital. It’s not surgery and doesn’t hurt.” The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to complete. Capital Cardiology Associates is a ICAEL Accredited Echocardiography Lab.
Radiology
While the risk of stroke is often included with heart attack prevention, stroke affects your brain, which brings a different set of recovery needs. Dr. Alan Boulos is Chair of the Department of Neurosurgery, Director of the Neurovascular Section, and Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Radiology at Albany Medical Center. He explained how a stroke damages the brain. “The brain is a complicated electrical organ/system. If the connections can be re-established, if other parts of the brain can take over function, then we can see patients recover their abilities despite their being an area of the brain that was damaged.” It is encouraging that recovery from a stroke event is possible; this involves dedication to rehabilitation and time. Change occurs very slowly, up to two years in some cases. Unfortunately, due to the severity of the stroke, there may debilitating or life-altering injury.
Nuclear Medicine
Our Nuclear lab is accredited through the InterSocietal Commission for Accreditation of Nuclear Medicine Laboratories in Myocardial Perfusion Imaging and Equilibrium Radionuclide Angiography.
Computed Tomography
The Enhanced Cardiac Access Suite provides same-day evaluations of patients with non-life-threatening symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath or rapid heart rate. The ECA Suite allows rapid evaluations utilizing exercise stress tests, heart CT scans, nuclear stress tests, echocardiograms, continuous cardiac telemetry monitoring, and blood work in our on-site blood testing lab.
