00:00what we're all up against right getting older is really difficult and this is a condition that is

00:05associated with age right i think the bigger story ultimately is a sense in this country that

00:11we're electing a lot of leaders who are pretty advanced in age and i think they're you know we

00:16see increasing calls maybe we should get some younger people into office um but you know i

00:21wish the president well aging is difficult and

00:23and it's it's hard on all of us truly yeah lulu were you surprised to see this admission or did

00:34did you think that they would do this something like this i mean i think it's good right we need

00:39to know the president's health equally i i think um it's important because he's the leader of this

00:46country for us to know what condition he's in and obviously i wish him well and i hope that it is

00:51indeed not as serious as his doctors are saying but you know there is a pattern here of the

00:57president's health being um uh hidden i mean in the first administration we found out later that he

01:03almost died of covet 19. that was not disclosed at the time and so i think there should be more

01:09transparency about all president's health the previous president um biden and this one too yeah

01:15i mean rob that's been a push and pull for a long time is kind of uh how much disclosure how open to be

01:22um and and different presidents have obviously done it differently well certainly and as jake tapper

01:26has uh reported in his book i mean certainly things were not done well in joe biden's administration

01:32and so i think that's why you see i hear a theme of transparency throughout the show this morning

01:36and that's i think why caroline levitt decided to come forward with the letter and the information

01:40yesterday and and there has been a a decision made by this white house to make sure that they are telling

01:46the american people about the president's health now jessica as you pointed out this is a common

01:51condition i think over 150 000 americans are diagnosed with this every year so my prayers are

01:57with the president i hope that he will be able to get the treatment that he needs and and overcome

02:01this the white house revealing president trump has been diagnosed with a condition called chronic venous

02:06insufficiency the news comes after the president some observers noticed swelling of his ankles and

02:12some bruising on his right hand he appeared to try to cover up with makeup i'm going to bring in

02:16senior chief medical correspondent dr sanjay gupta so sanjay what is this condition so chronic venous

02:23insufficiency a relatively common condition something that gets more common as you get older involves a

02:29problem with the veins that's the venous part of that so arteries carry blood away from the heart

02:35veins take blood back to the heart if the veins aren't working properly if they're not doing their job

02:40fluid blood can sort of start to pool and that was probably causing that swelling that you just

02:45showed in that picture there again you know a fairly common condition i will say a couple of

02:49interesting things he had a physical exam back in april and so three months ago or so and they made no

02:55mention of it at that time so either it wasn't there or they didn't talk about it it does appear that

03:01this problem has either started or worsened over the last three months and i think that's what sort of

03:06prompted the exam that he had anderson they looked at his blood to see if there's any problems that

03:12made him more likely to develop blood clots they said it was fine they looked for blood clots themselves

03:18because sometimes blood clots can block the veins that does not seem to be the case they looked at his

03:23heart to see that his heart was functioning properly pumping blood adequately because if it's not doing that

03:29that can also lead to swelling and that's i think ultimately how they landed on this diagnosis of

03:35chronic venous insufficiency what kind of treatment is the person looking at yeah so you know without if

03:42there's no blood clots or anything like that to treat medically then you're really thinking of sort of

03:46mechanical things so you just if you imagine swelling that's occurring in the in the legs the lower legs

03:52typically getting worse because of gravity just raising the legs at night for example so sleeping

03:59on a couple of pillows underneath your ankles and your feet that can be helpful wearing things like

04:04compression socks that can be helpful being as active as possible when people are active walking

04:09and moving that tends to create more circulation of the blood through the veins as well so sometimes the

04:15problem just gets worse and it needs to be treated in other ways but for the beginning stages at least

04:20that's the best sort of uh approach the memo from the white house also goes into the cause of the

04:25bruising on on the president's hand that he's been uh trying to cover yeah right he's been trying to

04:32cover up we've seen the the makeup on his hand uh you know covering up these bruises you know we've

04:37noticed this for some time first of all anderson i think going back to february even with uh a visit

04:42that he had at that point we saw some pictures of bruising on his hand the white house doctors commented on

04:47this and they said this is uh irritation and sort of minor trauma to the hand they say probably as

04:54a result of lots of handshaking uh on top of the fact that he's taking aspirin as an anticoagulant so

05:01you know anderson i'll tell you that that does track you know people who are on blood thinners or

05:05some sort of blood thinner like this and have repeated sort of uh trauma to the hand or just even

05:10handshakes can cause that sort of bruising so that's what they that's what they concluded after

05:16examining him and it sort of fits all right dr sanji gupta thanks very much very much appreciate it

05:21my medical source tonight is dr megan randy emergency physician and dean at the yale school of public

05:26health and it's so great to have you here doctor because one i think a lot of people want to know

05:30what is chronic venous insufficiency and and two what does this diagnosis mean for the president

05:36thanks caitlin it's a joy to join you so chronic venous insufficiency is something that's actually

05:44pretty common somewhere between 10 and 30 percent of elderly adults have it basically what it means

05:50is that your veins have valves that keep the blood from back flowing in chronic venous insufficiency

05:58those valves stop working and so the blood pools down in your lower legs causing swelling there are

06:04various levels of it in the most mild level it can cause varicose veins or a little bit of swelling

06:10as it gets worse it can cause skin changes infections and even chronic venous ulcers we see it a lot in

06:18the emergency department and in primary care practices it's not in and of itself concerning

06:24although you of course want to make sure that those symptoms of swelling aren't caused by more

06:28dangerous conditions and you want to treat it so that you don't end up with those negative effects

06:33like infection or ulcers which can make you not able to walk and then cause all kinds of other

06:39downstream health problems well when you look at the president's last annual physical that was done

06:46at walter reid three months ago and on april 11th of this year we heard from the president's physician

06:51after that and one part that he praised actually was trump's cardiac health he wrote that his blood

06:56flow to his extremities is unimpaired does that mean that something has changed in those three months

07:01it most likely means that something has changed now when he says the blood flow to his legs is

07:08unimpaired i interpret that to mean both arterial and venous circulation maybe he was just referring

07:14to arterial circulation or the functioning of the heart the pumping that creates a pulse and gets blood

07:20flowing to your legs maybe he wasn't referring to venous outflow or bringing that blood back to your heart

07:26is it also possible that we weren't fully transparent at that point maybe i think this is one of the

07:32things about social media we see pictures just like we did with that cold plate concert yesterday

07:37things don't go unnoticed i'm glad that the president's health was taken seriously and that they

07:42investigated for more serious causes which sound like they were ruled out president trump has always

07:48proclaimed himself to be a near perfect physical specimen dr ronnie jackson he's a doctor he's an

07:57admiral where's ronnie jackson he told he said i'm the healthiest man ever to be president by far

08:04said if i wouldn't eat junk food i'd live 200 years where is he he's the greatest we love you ronnie

08:11so when the white house announced the president is suffering from a disease called chronic venous

08:16insufficiency it was something of a first an actual admission of any human frailty that is a

08:22circulatory condition where the veins and the legs have difficulty returning blood to the heart it's

08:26relatively common particularly in people over the age of 70 and it can cause ankle swelling in its

08:32early stages something the cameras picked up when recently zeroing in on the president the group chat

08:38joins us one last time today uh welcome back everyone uh noel look there is kind of a striking

08:44the they've never admitted any sort of health complications or problems really at all um

08:51obviously you don't wish ill health on anybody um but what do you make of this disclosure well i'm glad

08:57it came i mean i think that president trump is up against what we're all up against right getting older

09:03is really difficult and this is a condition that is associated with age right i think the bigger story

09:10ultimately is a sense in this country that we're electing a lot of leaders who are pretty advanced

09:15in age and i think they're you know we see increasing calls maybe we should get some younger people into

09:20office um but you know i wish the president well aging is difficult and it's it's hard on all of us

09:26truly yeah lulu were you surprised to see this admission or did did you think that they would do this

09:32something like this i mean i think it's good right we need to know the president's health

09:37equally i i think um it's important because he's the leader of this country for us to know what

09:43condition he's in creating content taking too long use simrash's content toolkit to get ai

09:50inspiration and ready to rank content in minutes impressed explore all simrash toolkits and get what

09:57you need to be both being um uh hidden i mean in the first administration we found out later that he

10:04almost died of covet 19. um that was not disclosed at the time and so i think there should be more

10:10transparency about all presidents helps the previous president um biden and this one too yeah i mean rob

10:16that's been a push and pull for a long time is kind of uh how much disclosure how open to be um and and

10:23different presidents have obviously done it differently well certainly and as jake tapper has uh reported in his

10:29book i mean certainly things were not done well in joe biden's administration and so i think that's why

10:34you see i hear a theme of transparency throughout the show this morning and that's i think why

10:43has been a a decision made by this white house to make sure that they are telling the american people

10:48about the president's health now jessica as you pointed out this is a common condition i think over

10:53150 000 americans are diagnosed with this every year so my prayers are with the president i hope that he

10:59will be able to get the treatment that he needs and and overcome this the white house revealing

11:04president trump has been diagnosed with a condition called chronic venous insufficiency the news comes

11:09after the president some observers noticed swelling of his ankles and some bruising on his right hand

11:14he appeared to try to cover up with makeup i want to bring in cena chief medical correspondent dr sanjay

11:26something that gets more common as you get older involves a problem with the veins that's the venous
