White House said Trump underwent MRI on heart, abdomen in October, with his physician saying all was 'normal'

White House physician Sean P. Barbabella characterized the scan as "standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age."

The White House on Monday released a summary of the results of a magnetic resonance imaging scan President Donald Trump underwent in what had been described as a "routine" physical in October, with the president's doctor saying he's in "excellent" health.

The White House physician, Sean P. Barbabella, wrote in a memo that the MRI was of Trump's cardiovascular system and abdomen, and said all of the imaging was “perfectly normal.” He said that the imaging was done “because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health.”

Trump is 79.

“The purpose of this imaging is preventive: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function,” the memo says.

Barbabella wrote that there was “no evidence of arterial narrowing impairing blood flow or abnormalities in the heart or major vessels. The heart chambers are normal in size, the vessel walls appear smooth and healthy, and there are no signs of inflammation, or clotting.”
