Fox News<\/a> has been halted for an urgent breaking news alert as US president Donald Trump<\/a> was diagnosed with a medical condition affecting his veins. The sitting president, 79, was suffering from bruising on the backs of his hands and swelling in his legs, raising fears he was suffering from a heart condition.<\/p>\n

But now White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has issued a statement on his diagnosis, which was shared on Fox. She said: \u201cThe president underwent a comprehensive examination including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity vent denis Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency<\/a>, a benign and common condition particularly in individuals over the age of 70.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease. Laboratory testing included a complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation profile, D-dimer, B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiac biomarkers. All results were within normal limits.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn echocardiogram was also performed and confirmed normal cardiac structure and function; no signs of heart failure, renal impairment or systemic illness were identified.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking live on Fox while a breaking news alert banner played on-screen, John said: \u201cWe see the back of the president\u2019s hand where he\u2019s got some bruising, he looks like he\u2019s got it covered with make-up there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was on a blood thinner when I had atrial fibrillation for a while, doc, and I would bruise in a stiff breeze. For a person his age who\u2019s taking aspirin therapy for his heart, that wouldn\u2019t be unusual, but what do you think of the overall report from the White House here?\u201d<\/p>\n

The anchors were joined by medical analyst Marc Siegel, who responded with a dig at former president Joe Biden<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m actually impressed with how open it is and how detailed it is, because they actually answered all the questions that I would have had. Maybe a contrast after the previous administration where everything was cloak and dagger.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, she has a lot of details that reassure me. He doesn\u2019t have deep vein thrombosis, he doesn\u2019t have a deep vein there, they checked that. They checked his heart \u2013 why are his legs swelling? Could it be backup from the heart? No! His echocardiogram is normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency has seen the oldest sitting president suffering from bruising and swelling, though he is said not to be in any discomfort at this time.<\/p>\n

The bruises on his hand were said to be \u201cconsistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard cardiovascular prevention regimen\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fox News has been halted for an urgent breaking news alert as US president Donald Trump was diagnosed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18473,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,17121,17122,12,17117,17120,11320,17115,17116,451,17123,3,452,453,17119,17124,17118,194],"class_list":["post-18472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-chronic-venous-insufficiency","tag-cvi","tag-donald-trump","tag-donald-trump-age","tag-donald-trump-diagnosis","tag-fox-news","tag-fox-news-live","tag-fox-news-presenters","tag-headlines","tag-is-cvi-dangerous","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-trump-diagnosis","tag-trump-health","tag-trump-updates","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18472"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18472\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
