Earlier today we got amazing and scary news that President Trump came to know a new medical condition called CVI – chronic venous insufficiency.
If you missed that announcement:
Breaking: White House shows that President Trump has been diagnosed with old venous insufficiency
Now big questions …
What is this?
How serious it is?
Can it be treated?
What is pregnancy?
And I have got all the answers for you.
Let’s organize a press conference with Karolin Levit here and answers questions.
What fresh complete transparency:
🚨 Bus: President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, after reporting swelling in the President’s feet, according to Karolin Levit,
Fortunately, this is not anything serious.
It should be handled in this way. Which was not covered like Biden’s diseases!

Captain, US navySubject: President Donald J. Trump’s health status update
In recent weeks, President Trump noted mild inflammation in his lower legs. Out of an abundance of regular medical care and caution, this concern was evaluated by the White House Medical Unit.
The President took a comprehensive examination including clinical vascular studies. Bilateral lower extreme venous Doppler ultrasound was performed and chronic venous insufficiency was detected, a gentle and general condition, especially in individuals over 70 years of age. Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or arterial disease.
Laboratory testing included a complete blood calculation, comprehensive metabolic panels, coagulation profiles, de-dimensions, B-type nutrotic peptide and cardiac biomarker. All the results were within the normal limit. An echocardiogram was also performed and the general heart structure and function were confirmed. No signs of heart failure, kidney loss or systemic disease were identified.
Additionally, recent photographs of the President have shown minor injuries behind their hand. It corresponds to the slight soft tissue irritation by repeated handshaking and daily aspirin, which he takes as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention. This is a famous and expected side effects of aspirin therapy.
Summary: President Trump remains in excellent health.
Now let’s want to know everything but let’s go deeply….
Or at least everything I wanted to know!
What I got here:
What is old venous insufficiency (CVI)?
Chronic venous insufficiency is a long -term condition where there is difficulty in sending blood to the nerves in the feet. This is because Valves in the veins of the foot are weak or damagedDue to blood Pool in the feet instead of flowing upwards,
How does it develop?
The veins have one level valves to move towards the blood.
If these valves fail, Blood flows backwards (venous reflux) And collects in the lower legs.
Over time, this is the reason Pressure buildup, swelling, skin changes and ulcers,
Who is at risk?
Genetics – Family history of varicose veins or CVI.
age – Risk increases with age (especially more than 50).
gender – Women are in high risk (hormones, pregnancy).
Pregnancy – Increases the pressure of the vein.
obesity – Additional weight strain leg vein.
Standing for a long time – Jobs that need to stand or sit for a long time.
History of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) – Damage vein valve.
Smoking – Weakens the blood vessels.
CVI phase (CAP classification)
CVI is usually classified C0 to C6 Based on visual signals:
C0: There is no visible symptom, but discomfort may occur in the patient.
C1: Small visible veins (spider veins or Telangikctasias).
C2: Varicose veins (raised, rope -like veins).
C3: Foot swelling (edema) without changes in the skin.
C4: Skin changes (malaise, eczema, thick skin):
C5: Heal venous ulcers.
C6: Active venous ulcers.
symptoms
Foot swelling (worse at the end of day)
Pain, heaviness, or leg cramps
Sculpture
Skin scorpion (brown or red)
Open wounds near the ankles in severe cases
Severity and forecasting
Not life-threatening By itself, but it can greatly affect the quality of life.
Untreated CVI It can be possible:
Rare complications: Severe infection, blood clots.
Good night: CVI does Do not reduce life expectancy Straight, but can be dangerous by ignoring complications (infections, clots).
Good with pregnancy Preliminary treatmentIt is difficult to reverse in advanced stages.
Treatment option (best medical care available)
Treatment depends on severity:
1. Lifestyle and conservative measures
compression stockings – Gold standard to improve blood flow.
Leg elevation – Reduces inflammation.
Exercise – Strengthens the calf muscles (natural pump).
Decrease in load – Reduces pressure on the veins.
2. Medicines
Venocative drugs (Diaosmin, horsepower extract) – Improve vein tone.
Dilute – If the history of clots.
3. Minimum invasive procedures
Intercourse – Uses laser or radiofrequency to close bad veins.
sclerotherapy – Injections to collapse small varicose/spider veins.
Endowenous glue – Seal vein closed.
4. Surgical option (advanced case)
Bedouin – Varicose removes veins through small incisions.
Bypass – For serious obstacles.
Skin spicy -The-healing ulcers.
Wound care for ulcers
How to stop or slow CVI
Keep a healthy weight.
Be active, avoid sitting/standing for a long time.
Wear compression stocking when at risk.
Treat varicose veins quickly.
Avoid smoking.
Important facts
CVI is common – 40% of more than 50 people are affected.
Long -term – Can not be fully corrected, but can be managed.
Initial treatment prevents complications – Ulcers are the most difficult for treatment.
With modern processesThe results are excellent, and most patients live a normal life without major disability.
In short: Chronic venous insufficiency is a progressive vein disorder that worsens over time if untreated but rarely reduces life expectancy. with Compression therapy, lifestyle changes, and modern vein treatmentPatients can live a normal, active life.
