US President, Donald Trump, has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a relatively common vascular condition that primarily affects the legs by impairing blood flow back to the heart. The diagnosis was confirmed following recent reports of mild leg swelling.
According to a statement released by his medical team, the diagnosis was made after Trump underwent a detailed and comprehensive medical examination that included diagnostic vascular imaging. These tests were conducted in response to mild but persistent swelling in his lower extremities that raised concerns among his physicians.
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when valves in the veins of the legs become weakened or damaged, making it difficult for blood to flow properly back to the heart. As a result, blood tends to pool in the legs, which can cause swelling, discomfort, and other symptoms such as leg fatigue, varicose veins, and skin changes if left untreated.
This condition is especially prevalent among elderly individuals. At 79 years old, Trump falls within the age group most commonly affected by venous insufficiency, although it can occur at earlier ages, particularly in those with a history of prolonged standing or limited mobility.
Despite the diagnosis, Trump’s health team has emphasized that there are no signs of more serious complications. The vascular studies, including ultrasounds and other diagnostic tools, showed no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) — a potentially life-threatening condition — or any arterial blockages. These reassuring findings indicate that while the condition requires monitoring and lifestyle adjustments, it does not currently pose a serious threat to his overall health.
Management of chronic venous insufficiency typically includes compression therapy, physical activity, and sometimes medication to improve blood flow. In more advanced cases, medical procedures or surgeries may be considered, but Trump’s team has not indicated that such measures are necessary at this stage.
