White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a health update on President Trump and said he had been diagnosed with a “chronic venous insufficiency” after being examined for swelling in his legs.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters that Trump recently underwent testing to investigate the swelling, including diagnostic vascular studies and an ultrasound of his legs, which revealed he has chronic venous insufficiency. The condition, which affects about 1 in 20 adults, is the result of blood not efficiently returning from the legs to the heart, often as a result of damaged valves in the veins

Leavitt said Trump, 79, shows no signs of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, which can be complications of chronic venous insufficiency.
