Overview

President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), a common circulatory condition affecting leg veins. The White House announced the diagnosis, stating that the president experienced mild leg swelling. His physician described the condition as benign and common, particularly in older adults. CVI involves impaired blood return to the heart, often causing leg swelling and varicose veins. Treatment options include compression stockings and, in more severe cases, minimally invasive procedures.
