Donald Trump diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency', says White House
United States President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition common in older adults that causes blood to pool in his veins, the White House said Thursday. The diagnosis followed after the President had noted 'mild swelling' in his lower legs recently and underwent a medical checkup. 'In keeping with routine medical care and out of an abundance of caution, this concern was thoroughly evaluated by the White House Medical Unit,' the White House physician said in a statement. According to the statement, Trump underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed which revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70. However, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial disease. In a press briefing, US Press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed bruising on the back of Trump's hand, seen in recent photos covered by makeup that was not an exact match to his skin tone. Addressing the issue, she said the bruising was 'consistent' with irritation from his 'frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin.' President Trump takes aspirin to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke, she added. 'Recent photos of the President have shown minor bruising on the back of his hand. This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy,' the statement released after the diagnosis also added. During the press briefing, she clarified that revealing details of Trump's medical checkup was intended to put an end to the recent speculation surrounding the 79-year-old president's health.
