Comprehensive Medical Evaluation Results

According to a memo from the president's physician, Capt. Sean Barbabella, President Trump successfully completed a scheduled follow-up evaluation that included extensive medical testing. The comprehensive laboratory studies performed during the visit showed stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters, all falling within exceptional ranges. The president also received his annual flu vaccination and an updated COVID-19 booster vaccination during the appointment.

Cardiovascular Health Assessment

One of the most notable findings from the examination was the president's cardiac age, which was determined to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age. This measurement, obtained through a validated ECG-based assessment of cardiovascular vitality, indicates strong heart health and cardiovascular function. The advanced imaging and cardiac parameter assessments revealed no abnormalities in the president's heart function.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency Diagnosis

The examination did reveal that President Trump has chronic venous insufficiency, a condition where veins in the legs do not function normally, leading to poor blood flow back to the heart. However, the physician's assessment confirmed there was no evidence of more serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. The White House has previously addressed visible symptoms, noting that the president's occasional bruised hands result from extensive handshaking as part of his official duties.

Previous Health Records and Consistency

This recent evaluation aligns with the president's previous health assessments. His annual physical results released in April showed no abnormalities aside from minor sun damage and scarring from a gunshot wound sustained during the July 2024 assassination attempt. The president's medical records also indicate he underwent a colonoscopy in July 2024 with a recommendation for another procedure in 2027.

The evaluation results support this self-assessment, with the physician's report confirming the president's excellent overall health status. The comprehensive nature of the examination and the positive results provide a detailed picture of the president's current health standing as he continues his presidential duties.
