The White House report on the annual medical examination of U.S. President Donald Trump did not publish part of the detailed test results that could have more fully confirmed conclusions about his health condition. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing doctors who reviewed the document.

On May 26, Trump spent about three hours at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. After the examination, he stated on Truth Social that the results were “perfect.” The president’s personal physician, Navy Captain Sean Barbabella, noted in a May 29 report that Trump “continues to be in excellent health and demonstrates strong cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and overall physical function.”
At the same time, doctors cited by WSJ pointed out that the document lacks specific numerical data from a number of important examinations. In particular, coronary CT angiography, echocardiogram, and an ECG analysis using artificial intelligence are mentioned, but without detailed data that would allow an independent assessment of heart function.
Barbabella also stated that an ultrasound of the carotid arteries showed normal results, but without specific measurements. Doctors believe that these data could provide a more complete picture of the president’s cardiovascular health.
Separate questions were also raised by other conditions mentioned in the report. Last year, Trump visited doctors several times due to swelling in his lower legs, which was diagnosed as chronic venous insufficiency. The new document mentions only “mild swelling of the lower leg” and “improvement compared to last year.”
Doctors also noted cholesterol levels, which one physician familiar with the report called “among the best one can see.”
At the same time, the report does not mention a rash on Trump’s neck that appeared earlier this year. Previously, his doctor reported the use of a preventive cream but did not specify a diagnosis.
