President Trump Diagnosed with Chronic Venous Insufficiency

President Donald Trump, 79, has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition where veins in the legs have difficulty returning blood to the heart, leading to blood pooling and swelling. This diagnosis follows recent observations of mild swelling in his lower legs and bruising on his right hand. The White House announced that comprehensive medical evaluations, including vascular studies and an ultrasound, confirmed the presence of CVI. Importantly, these tests revealed no signs of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and an echocardiogram showed normal cardiac structure and function. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized that CVI is a common and benign condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70, and that the president remains in excellent health. The bruising on President Trump's hand was attributed to frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which he takes as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen. The White House has committed to transparency regarding the president's health and will provide further updates as necessary.
