President Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency after experiencing mild swelling in his lower legs, according to a White House medical memorandum released Thursday by Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, the physician to the president.
What Happened: The 79-year-old president underwent comprehensive vascular studies, including bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds, which revealed the age-related circulatory condition. Barbabella emphasized the diagnosis is “benign and common, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.”
