US President Donald Trump was found to be in “exceptional health” in a medical evaluation, his doctor says in a memo released by the White House, with his “cardiac age” 14 years younger than in “chronological age.”
Trump, 79, was the oldest person to assume the US presidency when he retook the White House in January, and he is the second oldest person to ever serve as the country’s president.
In office, the Republican president has maintained a high-tempo schedule and a fondness for red meat. On Sunday, he plans to travel to the Middle East after brokering a Gaza ceasefire deal.
“Trump remains in exceptional health, exhibiting strong cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurological, and physical performance,” Trump’s physician Sean Barbabella says in the memo, which was made out to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Trump also received preventive health screenings and immunizations, including annual flu and updated COVID-19 booster vaccinations, in preparation for his upcoming international travel.
“His cardiac age – a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG – was found be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age,” reads the memo, which was just a few paragraphs long.
