YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after experiencing leg swelling, though physicians said he is in “excellent health,” the White House announced Thursday.
The White House Medical Unit conducted a “comprehensive examination” of Trump, 79, after recent photos showed him with swollen ankles and a bruised hand, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing.
The ankle swelling is related to the disease, which occurs when damaged valves inside the veins struggle to keep blood flowing from the legs back to the heart. Leavitt called it a “common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.” The disorder affects about one in 20 adults, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
A subsequent memo from White House physician Sean Barbabella said doctors found “no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial disease” and that “no signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.”
