WASHINGTON, D.C. — President Donald Trump’s latest medical evaluation at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center found him to be in “exceptional health,” his physician said Friday, the Associated Press reported.
In a memo released by the White House, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella stated that Trump displayed strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological and physical function, according to AP. He also received routine screenings and immunizations, including a flu shot and an updated COVID-19 booster.
One notable measure stood out: the doctor estimated Trump’s “cardiac age” to be about 14 years younger than his chronological age of 79, Reuters reported. The term reflects a calculation of cardiovascular health relative to typical age norms.
Trump underwent what the White House described as a “routine yearly” checkup, though it comes only six months after a more comprehensive exam in April,
According to People, his April exam had declared him “fully fit” for service, noting a 20-pound weight loss and an active lifestyle among other indicators. Since then, he’s been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a circulatory condition that can cause swelling in the legs.
Earlier public concern over bruising to Trump’s hand was addressed by the doctor, who attributed it to frequent handshakes and low-dose aspirin use, People said.
White House officials have disclosed the exam results in part to counter speculation about Trump’s health, particularly in light of his age and visible physical signs in recent public appearances, AP said.
