As reported by WGN9, following President Donald Trump’s recent diagnosis with Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI), USA Vein Clinics is encouraging public awareness of the condition. CVI is a common vascular condition where leg veins struggle to efficiently return blood to the heart due to damaged valves, leading to blood pooling in the lower limbs.
While generally mild, CVI can worsen over time if left untreated, potentially causing symptoms such as swelling, cramps, skin changes, varicose veins, and even leg ulcers. Medical evaluations confirmed President Trump’s CVI diagnosis after he experienced mild swelling in his lower legs. However, the White House medical staff stated that the severity of his condition is not life-threatening and ruled out more serious issues like deep vein thrombosis or heart problems.
This diagnosis has brought renewed attention to CVI, prompting health experts to highlight the importance of early detection and preventive care. Treatment options range from compression therapy and leg elevation to lifestyle changes and, in some cases, minimally invasive procedures offered by USA Vein Clinics’ locations nationwide.
