WASHINGTON, D.C. – Following a recent comprehensive medical examination, the White House has released a detailed update on President Donald Trump’s health, with his physician declaring the 79-year-old leader to be in "exceptionally good health."
Dr. Sean Barbabella, the White House physician, oversaw the President’s second medical check-up this year at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on October 10. The main takeaway from the evaluation focuses on a remarkable finding regarding his cardiovascular system.
The Most Striking Finding: A Youthful Heart
According to the official letter, the most notable indicator of President Trump's fitness is his "heart age." Based on an electrocardiogram (ECG) assessment, Dr. Barbabella confirmed that the President’s heart health parameters suggest a biological age approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.
"The President continues to demonstrate excellent overall health. His heart age—an index of cardiovascular wellness—is 14 years younger than his real age. He can maintain his rigorous work schedule without restriction," Dr. Barbabella stated.
Comprehensive Fitness and Previous Disclosures
The examination confirmed the stability of all major systems, noting that President Trump maintains excellent respiratory, neurological, and general physical fitness, with all metabolic, hematological, and cardiac indices remaining stable.
As part of preventative measures during this check-up, the President received both a flu vaccine and a COVID-19 booster shot.
The report also incorporated previously disclosed information from earlier this year, providing a complete health profile:
Physical Metrics: A previous report from April confirmed the President stands at 6 feet, 3 inches (190 cm) and weighs 225 pounds (102 kg), with high cholesterol levels that are currently managed and well-controlled.
Cognitive Health: The President recently announced that he achieved a "perfect score" on a standardized cognitive assessment.
Chronic Condition: Health disclosures in July addressed his diagnosis of Chronic Venous Insufficiency. The condition, described as benign and common in older adults, accounts for minor leg swelling and occasional bruising on his hands. This bruising was linked to frequent handshakes and his regimen of low-dose aspirin for cardiac prevention. The White House noted he sometimes used makeup to conceal the bruising during public events.
The President, returning from the Walter Reed visit, told reporters he felt "very good, both physically and mentally." The White House maintained that this evaluation was part of the standard annual physical check-up.
