President Donald Trump was recently diagnosed with a common vein condition after he noticed swelling in his legs, the White House announced Thursday.

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.

The health update follows a spate of online speculation about Trump’s swollen ankles and bruises on his hands.

Leavitt said Trump, 79, shows no signs of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, which can be complications of chronic venous insufficiency. She added that he also underwent thorough laboratory testing, which revealed results within normal limits, as well as an echocardiogram that showed “normal cardiac structure and function.”

“No signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified,” she said.

Leavitt, who noted that the president remains in excellent health and is experiencing “no discomfort,” said that bruising on the back of Trump’s hand was also evaluated and determined to be minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which the president takes as part of his ongoing cardiac care.
