President Donald Trump has been declared in "exceptional health" following a recent medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
This examination, conducted on Friday, was a follow-up to his annual physical in April, aimed at preparing him for forthcoming international engagements. The assessment was carried out by Sean P. Barbabella, Physician to the President, as part of an ongoing health maintenance strategy.
According to One America News, Dr. Barbabella, in a letter to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, emphasized that the evaluations were conducted in collaboration with top academic and medical experts to ensure the President's optimal cardiovascular health and overall well-being. Earlier this year, President Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a condition prevalent among older adults, which affects the veins in the legs, leading to impaired blood flow.
The President was seen with bruises on his hands around the time of this diagnosis, which the White House attributed to his treatment plan involving aspirin, a medication known to impact blood clotting and cause bruising. Dr. Barbabella also mentioned "frequent handshaking" as a contributing factor to the bruises.
Despite this condition, comprehensive laboratory tests conducted during the visit revealed "exceptional" results, with stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters, as reported by the White House physician. In anticipation of his upcoming trip to Egypt and Israel, President Trump received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including a COVID-19 booster and a flu shot.
This journey is part of the implementation of his peace plan between Israel and Hamas, which both parties agreed to last week after a prolonged two-year conflict.
Dr. Barbabella praised President Trump for his "excellent overall health," highlighting that his "cardiac age," determined through an electrocardiogram (EKG), is "approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age." This assessment allows the President to maintain a rigorous daily schedule without any restrictions.
The physician concluded by affirming, "President Donald J. Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance."
The President's robust health report underscores his readiness to continue his demanding role on the global stage, reinforcing his commitment to advancing peace and stability in the Middle East.
