White House Provides Summary of Trump’s Medical ‘Advanced Imaging’ Results

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Dec. 1 read a summary of President Donald Trump’s “advanced imaging” results from his visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in October. During a White House press conference on Monday afternoon, Leavitt said her team had the summary of Trump’s “comprehensive executive physical advanced imaging,” performed to evaluate his cardiovascular and abdominal health. She said the purpose of the imaging was “preventative,” to identify any issues early and ensure the president maintains long-term health. “President Trump’s cardiovascular imaging was perfectly normal, 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,” the press secretary said. “Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health. His abdominal imaging is also perfectly normal. All major organs appear very healthy and well perfused. Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits, with no acute or chronic concerns.” Soon after, the White House released a physical summary of Trump’s advanced imaging results to social media. Neither Leavitt nor the White House confirmed whether these were the results from Trump’s magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) conducted at Walter Reed on Oct. 27. Advanced imaging is a term used to categorize a series of diagnostic tests, including MRIs, computed tomography (CT) scans, and positron emission tomography (PET) scans. The White House did not respond to a request for comment by publication time. During the briefing, a reporter asked Leavitt if the White House would release the results of Trump’s MRI as he previously indicated he would, prompting the press secretary to respond that it “is happening right now.” In both summaries, the test is referred to as “comprehensive executive physical advanced imaging.” In some medical facilities, this includes electrocardiogram (EKG) testing, MRIs, CTs of multiple sections of the body, laboratory tests, and a magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) test.     After leaving Walter Reed in late October, the president confirmed he received an MRI and said it “was perfect.” The president has received criticism since undergoing his MRI, with some—including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat—raising questions about Trump’s health and calling on him to release the results.   “Release the MRI results,” Walz wrote on social media in response to a Truth Social post by the president, in which he described the governor using a slur for disabled people.   Trump also criticized Walz for not doing enough to combat crime in Minnesota.   After Walz’s post, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that he supported releasing his MRI results.   “So, if they want to release it, it’s OK with me to release it,” Trump said on Nov. 30, adding that he had “no idea” which part of his body was scanned during his MRI test.   “It was just an MRI,” Trump said. “It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it. I got a perfect mark, which you would be incapable of doing.”   Aldgra Fredly contributed to this report.     This is a developing story and will be updated.
