This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation caused by frequent handshakes, combined with Trump\u2019s use of aspirin as part of standard cardiovascular preventative care.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1395\">The White House confirmed that no serious medical issues were found. \u201cThere was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. An electrocardiogram confirmed a normal heart structure and function, with no signs of heart failure, kidney dysfunction, or systemic illness,\u201d Leavitt added.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1458\">What Is Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1459\" data-end=\"1754\">CVI is a circulatory disorder where veins in the legs become damaged or weakened, making it difficult for blood to return to the heart. According to Dr. Todd Berland, vascular surgeon at NYU Langone Health, the condition is very common with age, and may be genetically inherited.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1756\" data-end=\"1935\">Over time, valves inside the leg veins may fail, causing blood to pool in the lower legs, which increases pressure and leads to swelling, discomfort, and skin changes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20453\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20453 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2200-3.jpg\" alt=\"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Thursday that former U.S. President Donald Trump recently underwent a medical examination after experiencing swelling in his lower legs and bruises on his hands.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2200-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2200-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/2200-3-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">White House says Trump\u2019s condition is common for people over 70; no signs of heart, kidney, or systemic disease<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"1942\" data-end=\"1996\">\u00a0Symptoms of Chronic Venous Insufficiency:<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1997\" data-end=\"2093\">According to Penn Medicine and health experts, symptoms can start mild but worsen over time:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2360\">\n<li data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2124\">\n<p data-start=\"2096\" data-end=\"2124\">Swelling in legs or ankles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2159\">\n<p data-start=\"2127\" data-end=\"2159\">Muscle tightness or leg cramps<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2160\" data-end=\"2216\">\n<p data-start=\"2162\" data-end=\"2216\">Burning, itching, or tingling sensations in the legs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2262\">\n<p data-start=\"2219\" data-end=\"2262\">Pain when walking that improves with rest<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2263\" data-end=\"2332\">\n<p data-start=\"2265\" data-end=\"2332\">Skin discoloration or texture changes, especially near the ankles<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2333\" data-end=\"2360\">\n<p data-start=\"2335\" data-end=\"2360\">Slow-healing leg ulcers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"2367\" data-end=\"2399\">How Serious Is CVI?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2400\" data-end=\"2619\">Dr. Berland says CVI does not affect life expectancy, but significantly impacts quality of life.
