President Trump, aged 79, has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, deemed a common condition for individuals over 70. The White House physician conducted a comprehensive examination following Trump's mild leg swelling. The examination revealed no signs of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Recent bruising on Trump's hands was attributed to frequent handshaking and aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention. The specific timing of the examination has not been disclosed.
President Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, but 'remains in excellent health,' according to a memo from the White House physician.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described chronic venous insufficiency as a 'common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.'
Trump underwent a 'comprehensive examination' after experiencing 'mild swelling' in his lower legs, but no evidence of deeper conditions was found.
Leavitt explained the bruising seen on the president's hands was due to 'frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin,' a medication he takes for cardiovascular disease.
