The White House on Monday released the results of President Donald Trump’s recent advanced imaging tests, describing them as “perfectly normal.”
The memo from Dr. Sean Barbabella, the president’s physician, said Trump underwent the scans during a physical in October “because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health” and that the tests are “preventive.”
Barbabella said the images help confirm Trump’s overall health and identify any problems early before they become serious.
Although Trump referred to the tests as an MRI, Barbarella did not use the term in his memo.
The cardiac imaging test, which looks at the heart and its blood vessels, showed no evidence of arterial narrowing, Barbabella wrote. Arterial narrowing is a condition that occurs when plaque builds up and reduces blood flow, causing symptoms including chest pain and difficulty breathing.
Additionally, Trump’s cardiac scan showed no abnormalities in his heart or major vessels, according to Barbabella, and his heart chambers were described as normal size with no signs of inflammation or clotting.
When the chambers of the heart are too large or too small, This can cause the organ to work harder than usual to pump blood throughout the body.
“Overall, his cardiovascular system shows excellent health,” Barbabella wrote.

Barbabella also wrote in the memo that Trump’s abdominal imaging scan was normal and that all major organs appeared healthy and well perfused, meaning high blood flow relative to their size.
“Everything evaluated is functioning within normal limits, with no acute or chronic concerns,” he wrote. “This level of detailed evaluation is standard for an executive physical exam at President Trump’s age and confirms that he maintains excellent overall health.”
Trump said during a group with reporters on Air Force One in late October that he received a MRI as part of “advanced imaging” testing at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, but did not answer questions about what the scan was for.
On Sunday, Trump said he agreed with the release of the MRI results but was unsure of which area of the body had been scanned.
“So if they want to release it, that’s fine with me to do so. It’s perfect,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “But if you want them to release it, I will, absolutely.”
When asked what part of the body received the MRI, Trump responded: “I have no idea. It was just an MRI, what part of the body? It wasn’t the brain, because I had a cognitive test and I got great results.”
