Vascular diseases include any disorder that affects your circulatory system. They can range from diseases of your arteries, veins, and lymph vessels to blood disorders that impact circulation.

At Meriter Heart & Vascular, we address the entire vascular disease spectrum—examining etiology, promoting prevention, offering state-of-the-art treatment and following through with rehabilitation. Our approach draws on the multidisciplinary breadth of our expert team, which includes specialists in broad-spectrum vascular medicine as well as diagnostics, interventional treatment, endovascular therapies, vascular surgery and wound care. This comprehensive, integrated approach provides you with the most thorough and effective vascular care available.

Diagnostics & Accredited Labs

Staying at the forefront of technology and serving our patients in nationally accredited labs allows us to offer the benefits of accuracy, speed and exceptional quality. Protocols ensure the most appropriate and effective level of testing to assure cost effectiveness as well as diagnostic value.

Noninvasive vascular diagnostic procedures require specialized technologists to ensure the highest quality examinations. Our professional technologists are credentialed through the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS), which administers the Registered Vascular Technologist (RVT) credential. The RVT credential is the only credential endorsed by the Society of Vascular Technology for those performing noninvasive vascular testing.
