Donald Trump is suffering from an old vein position, the White House on Thursday announced that the US President’s hand -shown photographs after the days of speculation about the photographs.
According to the White House press secretary Karolin Levit, after recently experienced swelling in his feet, Trump conducted a “comprehensive examination” including a vascular test.
Lewit stated that Trump’s injury was in line with “frequent handshaking tissue damage” while taking aspirin, which he said “a standard cardio-conversion prevention is part of Regimeen”.
79 -year -old Trump has regularly postponed his good health and once described himself as a “healthy president who is ever alive”.
The position of the recently discovered vein of the President is called chronic venous insufficiency, which occurs when the vein of the foot fails to pump blood to the heart, causing it to a pool in the lower limbs, which can then swell.
The vein and valve “take the blood up and out of the foot” and back to the heart, Dr. Meril Logan, Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery at the University of Texas at Austin, told the BBC.
The blood flowing from the feet to the heart is moving against gravity, making that process more difficult.
“So what is the chronic venous insufficiency, when they do not work the veins and valves and the blood goes backwards under the legs,” he said.
The oldest president ever inaugurated
Levit stated that “there was no evidence of” deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease “and all the results of the test were” within general boundaries “.
According to a note from the White House physician Sean Barbabella, reporters were issued, the condition is “gentle and common”, especially in people over the age of 70.
Additional trial showed “heart failure, kidney loss, or no sign of systemic disease” in Trump, Barbabella said in the note, which confirmed the information from the first briefing of Levit.
Overall, Trump is in “excellent health”, the doctor wrote.
Photographers grabbed Trump’s swollen legs during the final of the FIFA Club World Cup in New Jersey on 13 July, in which the later photographs were shown to be shown to their hands during a meeting with Bahrain’s Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa at the White House earlier this week.
In February, a picture of an injury was taken on the President’s hand during a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.
His swollen legs and injuries inspired online speculation and rumors that the President would be experiencing a disease that was not made public.
After an annual physical examination in April, Barbabela wrote that Trump “shows cognitive and physical health”.
Trump was 78 years old and seven months old when he was sworn in for his second term in January, making him the oldest President to inaugurate him as an American leader.
What do you know about old venous insufficiency
Doctors told the BBC that they agreed to assess Barbabella on the severity of old venous insufficiency.
The Chairman of the Department of Vascular Surgery at Wake Forest University, Dr. Matthew Edwards said, “It may be associated with serious conditions, but in itself it is not a serious condition, and a very common situation.”
“People in his age (group), I would say that it will probably be somewhere among 10 to 35% people.”
Experts say that other risks have overweight, history of blood clots, and for jobs that patients need to stay on their feet for long periods.
Wearing a custom-made medical-grade compression stockings can help manage the situation, and experts also recommend patients who raise their feet at night.
“I ask my patients to use a good creamy lotion on my feet and feet every day, and then control other possible risk factors like obesity,” Dr. Logan said.
President is hurt
The chronic venous insufficiency only affects the lower part of the body, so the situation is unrelated to the injury seen on the President’s hand, which caused speculation in recent times.
The President’s doctor said that there was a result of injury and a side effect of taking aspirin, a drug that can help prevent heart attacks, blood clots and strokes.
Dr. Edwards said that he agrees with the explanation of the White House doctor that Trump’s aspirin consumption could be responsible for his age as well as injury.
“We are prone to grow more because we grow up, and you see that there is a lot in people taking aspirin and other blood-thread agents.”
Dr. Edwards said, “I am sure if someone squeezes your hand very hard, (you can get an injury),” Dr. Edwards said.
“It will get a very rigid hand.”
