‘Exceptional Health’: Doctor Says Trump, 79, Has ‘Cardiac Age’ 14 Years Younger

<p>US President Donald Trump underwent a scheduled medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Friday, with his physician declaring him in &ldquo;exceptional health.&rdquo; The three-hour visit included lab tests, preventive screenings and immunisations as part of his ongoing health maintenance plan.</p>
<p>During the visit, Trump received his annual flu shot and an updated COVID-19 booster. Navy Capt Sean Barbabella, the president&rsquo;s physician, described the checkup as a routine follow-up, noting that Trump demonstrated strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical performance, reported Reuters.</p>
<p>The White House had initially referred to the visit as a &ldquo;routine yearly checkup,&rdquo; although Trump had already completed his annual physical in April, which he described as a &ldquo;semiannual physical.&rdquo; That earlier evaluation had found him &ldquo;fully fit&rdquo; to serve as commander in chief and noted a 20-pound weight loss since June 2020, attributed to his active lifestyle.</p>
<h3>Donald Trump’s Previous Health Concerns</h3>
<p>In July, Trump underwent additional testing after mild swelling appeared in his lower legs. Physicians diagnosed him with chronic venous insufficiency, a common age-related condition where vein valves lose efficiency, leading to blood pooling.</p>
<p>The April physical also included a cognitive screening and assessments of weight, BMI, cholesterol, blood pressure, mental health, and prior surgeries, Associated Press.</p>
<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasised that releasing these health details reflects transparency, particularly following public speculation about visible bruising on Trump&rsquo;s hand. The disclosures underscore the president&rsquo;s readiness for upcoming international travel, including a Middle East visit after facilitating a Gaza ceasefire agreement.</p>
