Donald Trump suffers from the chronic state of the vein, announced the White House on Thursday after speculation days regarding the photos showing bruises in the hands of the US president.
According to the White House press secretary, Carolya Levit, after a recent test of swelling in the legs, Trump passed a “comprehensive exam”, including vascular tests.
Levitus said Trump bruises are aligned with “tissue damage from frequent hands” while taking aspirin, which, she said, is “part of the standard cardiovascular prevention mode”.
The 79 -year -old Trump regularly advertised his good health and once called himself “a healthy president who lived.”
The recently pronounced state of the president’s vein is called chronic venous insufficiency, which occurs when the veins of the legs fail to pump blood to the heart, causing it to unite on the lower extremities, which can then swell.
Vienna and valves “push the blood up and from the leg” and back to the heart, said Dr. Meril Logan, Associate Professor of the Department of Vascular Surgery at the University of Texas in Austin.
The blood that flows from feet to heart moves against gravity, which can complicate this process.
“So, what chronic venous insufficiency is when these veins and valves do not work, and the blood goes back down the legs,” she said.
Levit said that “there was no evidence of thrombosis of deep veins or arterial diseases” and that all the test results were “within the norm”.
According to the note from the doctor of White House, Sean Barbabel, who was released to journalists, this condition is “benign and common”, especially in people over 70.
Additional trials showed “no signs of heart failure, kidney disorders or systemic disease” in Trump, Barbabella notes in a note that confirmed information from the preliminary briefing of Levit.
Overall, Trump is in “Excellent Health”, the doctor writes.
On July 13, the photographers seized Trump’s swollen legs during the FIFA World Cup in New Jersey on July 13, and the following photos taken earlier this week show their bruises during a meeting with Prime Minister Bahrain Salman Bin Hamad Isa Al Kalifa in the White House.
Earlier, the bruise on the President’s hand was photographed during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron in February.
His puffy legs and bruises pushed online speech and rumors that the president may have experienced a disease that was not announced.
After the annual physical examination in April Barbabel wrote that Trump “shows cognitive and physical health”.
Trump was 78 years old and seven months old when he swore in the second term in January, making him the oldest president, which when he was open as a US leader.
Doctors reported the BBC that they agreed with the barbabel evaluation about the severity of chronic venous insufficiency.
“It may be due to serious conditions, but it is not a serious condition in itself, and it is very common,” said Dr. Matthew Edwards, chairman of the Vaike Forest University University.
“People at his age (group), I would say probably somewhere from 10 to 35% of people it would be.”
Experts say other risks include overweight, the presence of blood clots and jobs that require patients to be on their feet over a long time.
Wearing to order
“I tell my patients to use a good cream lotion on my feet and legs every day, and then control other potential risk factors such as obesity,” D -R -Logan said.
Chronic venous insufficiency affects only the lower body, so the condition is not related to the bruises noticed on the President’s hand, which caused speculation in recent days.
The presidential doctor said the bruises were the result of handshake and side effect when he takes aspirin, medicines that can help prevent heart attacks, blood clots and strokes.
D -R Edwards said he agreed with the explanation of the White House doctor that aspirin’s consumption with his age could be the cause of bruises.
“We are increasingly prone to bruises when we age and you see that there are many people who take aspirin and other blood agents.”
“I’m sure it can if someone squeezes your hand strongly enough (you can get a bruise),” said D -R -Edwards.
“It would be a pretty tough handshake.”
