On Thursday, the White House stated that President Trump had been diagnosed with a common vein problem following his observation of swelling in his legs.
According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump recently had diagnostic vascular investigations and an ultrasound of his legs done to look into the swelling. The results showed that he had chronic venous insufficiency. About one in twenty persons suffer with the disorder, which occurs when blood does not return to the heart as effectively as it should, most commonly due to broken vein valves.
The health report comes after many people speculated online about Trump’s bruised hands and swollen ankles.
Neither arterial disease nor deep vein thrombosis, which are consequences of chronic venous insufficiency, are present in Trump, 79, according to Leavitt. His comprehensive laboratory work, she said, came back within normal ranges, and an echocardiography confirmed “normal cardiac structure and function.”
It was said that there were no indications of cardiac failure, renal impairment, or systemic sickness.
As part of the president’s continuing cardiac care, he takes aspirin, and according to Leavitt, the bruises on the back of his hand are just minor soft tissue irritation from all the shaking that has taken place. The president is otherwise in great health and is reportedly not in any pain.
