White House Doctor Declares Trump in Excellent Health After Walter Reed Exam

Routine tests with travel-focused boosters drew renewed scrutiny of a summary that offered few data points.

Overview

  • White House physician Capt. Sean Barbabella said President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health in a letter released Friday.
  • The report cited a cardiac age approximately 14 years younger than his 79 years and said he keeps a demanding daily schedule without restrictions.
  • Doctors reported normal cardiac structure and function with good cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical performance.
  • Trump underwent routine testing at Walter Reed and received influenza and updated COVID-19 booster shots ahead of an international trip.
  • The update follows a July disclosure of a benign venous condition and drew fresh transparency questions, with a CNN cardiologist calling the memo sparse on data and questioning the 'cardiac age' claim.
