US President Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with ‘chronic venous insufficiency’ following a medical check-up after noticing “mild swelling” in his lower legs.

During a press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that the US President was diagnosed with a vein condition which is "common in individuals over the age of 70”. Reading a letter from Trump’s doctor, she further revealed that there was no evidence of more serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and stressed that the President remains in “excellent health”.

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a condition in which the veins in the legs have trouble sending blood back to the heart because of damaged valves.
