President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) following evaluation for lower leg swelling and hand bruising. His physician confirmed no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease, and all lab results were normal. CVI is a vein disorder that occurs when damaged valves in the legs fail to function properly, causing blood to flow backward and pool. Symptoms can include swelling, aching, and varicose veins. The condition affects one in three adults, with increased risk in those over 50.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) occurs when veins in the legs are damaged, causing improper closure of valves and resulting in blood flowing backwards, leading to pooling.
CVI symptoms can include leg swelling, aching legs, a heavy or tingling sensation, and varicose veins, affecting about one in three adults and rising with age.
