The White House has publicly released a memo from the physician to Donald J. Trump confirming that advanced imaging conducted in October 2025 — including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of his heart and abdomen — returned “perfectly normal” results, underscoring that the 79-year-old president remains in “excellent overall health.”

According to the document signed by Sean P. Barbabella, Trump underwent the scan as part of a preventive executive physical intended for men in his age group.

The cardiovascular imaging revealed no evidence of arterial narrowing, blocked blood flow, inflammation or clotting.

Major vessels were described as healthy, the heart chambers as normal in size, and no abnormalities emerged in Trump’s abdominal organs.

Overall, the physician assessed the president’s heart and vascular system as performing at levels typical of someone much younger.

The abdominal evaluation similarly showed no acute or chronic concerns.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt read the memo during a December 1 briefing, emphasizing that the scan was standard for someone of the president’s age and that releasing the results reflected a commitment to transparency.

She said the findings ensure Trump “maintains long-term vitality and function.” The decision follows questions about the October exam after Trump admitted he did not know which part of his body was scanned but called the results “perfect.”

Officials noted the scan was part of a broader “comprehensive follow-up evaluation” conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center — about six months after his annual physical — and described it as routine for someone of his age.

The White House said laboratory work, metabolic panels and cardiac parameters also returned within normal ranges, and that Trump had received routine vaccinations including a flu shot and updated COVID-19 booster.

Some outside observers, however, noted that MRI scans are not typically part of standard annual check-ups, raising questions about why the advanced imaging was ordered.

While experts acknowledged the scans found no abnormalities, a few medical commentators emphasized that the public summary lacked granular data: no detailed radiology reports, stress-test results or neurological imaging were released.

Critics have said such omissions leave unanswered questions about elements of the president’s health that remain outside the disclosed findings.

Despite those reservations, the released memo offers the most detailed public account to date of Trump’s physical condition, affirming his physician’s conclusion that he remains “fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief.” As debate continues over transparency and age in leadership, the administration insists the results demonstrate robust health and readiness for office.
