💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) due to swollen legs. CVI is common in older adults, causing blood to pool in the legs, leading to swelling, aching, and varicose veins. Risk factors include blood clots, inflammation, and obesity. Diagnosis involves ruling out serious conditions and confirmation via ultrasound. Treatment options include compression stockings, leg elevation, exercise, and, for advanced cases, medication and procedures.
