Trump’s Recent Physical: What We Know — and What Remains Unclear

President Donald Trump recently underwent a medical examination — including cognitive testing — at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. White House physician Dr. Sean Barbabella described the visit as a comprehensive and multi-hour evaluation as part of the president’s “ongoing health maintenance plan.” The Washington Post+4ABC News+4PBS+4

In his public summary, Barbabella wrote that Trump “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State.” He cited robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function as evidence of the president’s vitality and active lifestyle.

The memo also referenced Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as part of his regimen of physical activity.

Key Findings & Health Details

The examination reportedly included advanced imaging, laboratory tests, and preventive health assessments conducted by a team of specialists.

As part of the evaluation, Barbabella noted that Trump’s “cardiac age” — a measurement derived from an electrocardiogram (ECG) — was estimated to be ~14 years younger than his chronological age.

Trump also received a flu shot and updated COVID-19 booster during the visit.
In a prior exam in April 2025, Trump scored a perfect 30/30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) — a standard screening tool for cognitive function.

During that earlier evaluation, the White House disclosed that Trump had chronic venous insufficiency, a condition affecting the veins in the legs that can lead to swelling.
