White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that President Trump, 79, has been diagnosed with the vein condition known as chronic venous insufficiency, after undergoing testing when noticing swelling in his legs. According to Johns Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic, chronic venous insufficiency occurs when veins in the legs struggle to allow blood to flow back up to the heart. Leavitt said the president underwent a thorough health examination after he noticed mild swelling in his legs, and the examination revealed no evidence of more serious conditions like deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Leavitt said the president’s physician says he remains in excellent overall health. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed, and reformed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.” The letter said there was “no evidence” of blood clots or arterial disease.
