President Donald Trump’s physician announced that the U.S.
Commander-in-Chief is in “excellent health” via a medical report released by the White House -- following the president’s physical at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Dr.
Sean Barbabella, the official White House physician, wrote in a memo released on Friday, that President Trump demonstrates “strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological and overall physical function,” being “fully fit to carry out all duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.”
“His demanding daily schedule, including multiple high-level meetings, public engagements and regular physical activity continues to support his overall well-being,” wrote Barbabella.
Trump underwent an array of physical and mental tests, including an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the carotid arteries, examinations of the lungs and eyes, screenings for anxiety and depression and routine blood tests.
Barbabella also noted that an AI-enhanced electrocardiogram analysis estimated the president’s cardiac age to be “approximately 14 year younger than his chronological age.”
In the preventative care section of the memo, the doctor noted, "preventative counseling was provided, including guidance on diet, recommendation to take a low-dose aspirin, increased physical activity, and continued weight loss."
He also added that at 75 inches tall and weighing 238 pounds, Trump has a body mass index (BMI) of 29.7, sitting just below the clinical threshold for obesity -- which begins at 30.
The president currently takes two medications, rosuvastatin and ezetimibe, to treat high cholesterol.
The report also addressed visible bruising on Trump’s hands, characterizing it as minor soft tissue irritation due to frequent handshaking—a common side effect of his medication.
The president had previously been taking 325 milligrams of aspirin, which is four times the standard low-dose amount of 81 milligrams.
Trump previously defended his aspirin use in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, stating, “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart.”
He also expressed a strong preference for golf over traditional exercise routines.
“I just don't like it.
It's boring.
To walk on a treadmill or run on a treadmill for hours and hours like some people do, that's not for me,” said Trump of cardio equipment.
Additionally, the doctor noted slight lower leg swelling.
Trump was previously diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a benign condition occurring when the valves in the legs fail to efficiently pump blood back to the heart, causing fluid to temporarily pool in the lower limbs.
Lastly, the report stated that Trump scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a standard screening tool used to evaluate cognitive health.
