Overview

• Presidential physician Sean Barbabella reported that Donald Trump remains in excellent health with normal cardiac, renal and systemic findings.
• The report said Trump’s heart and vascular system are comparable to that of a 65-year-old, a metric the White House highlighted in releasing the findings.
• Friday’s Walter Reed visit was the second medical check this year, described by the White House as an annual exam despite a similar evaluation in April.
• The White House attributed visible hand bruises to frequent handshakes and aspirin use, and reiterated July’s diagnosis of benign chronic venous insufficiency to explain leg swelling.
• Trump said he is in great condition and touted a perfect cognitive test score, while medical experts cited in coverage questioned the clinical value of the heart-age measure and the report’s limited detail.
