Overview

• President Trump noted mild lower-leg swelling in recent weeks, prompting an evaluation by the White House Medical Unit.
• Diagnostic vascular studies and bilateral lower-extremity Doppler ultrasounds confirmed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition in adults over 70.
• Examinations found no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and an echocardiogram showed normal cardiac structure and function with no signs of heart failure.
• Recent bruising on the back of Trump’s hand was attributed to minor soft-tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and preventive aspirin therapy.
• White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt released the medical findings to underscore transparency and affirm the president’s continued excellent health.
