Trump in excellent health after annual checkup, his doctor says

Last year, the president’s bruised hands and swollen legs caused concern and speculation over his health.

It was revealed in July that he had been diagnosed with a vein condition called chronic venous insufficiency, which occurs when leg veins fail to pump blood to the heart, causing it to pool in the lower limbs, which can then become swollen.

While there remained some “slight lower leg swelling”, Barbabella noted in his memo that there was “improvement from last year”.
