................ The report says Trump’s test results are “stable,” but Reiner said that’s different from saying they are normal. “I can say that someone’s blood pressure is stable. All that means is the blood pressure hasn’t changed.”

The AI-derived tool to calculate heart age “is not a clinically used tool,” Reiner said. “Maybe it’s an emerging tool. But what they don’t tell us are the things that he did have, which are clinical tools.”

“It is more meaningful right now to understand basic testing to try to understand the president’s cardiovascular health,” he said. “What is his ejection fraction? Does his heart contract normally? What is his blood pressure? What is his cholesterol? Is there any evidence of a heart attack? Does he have atrial fibrillation? Explain to us why he has these severe bruises on his hands, which typically are caused by blood thinners. Does he take a blood thinner? These are all, clinically, very meaningful questions, much more meaningful than some AI-derived heart age.”

Trump is one of the oldest presidents in US history and has faced scrutiny over regular bruising on his right hand that he’s appeared at times to cover up with heavy makeup. The White House physician has cited “frequent handshaking” and aspirin use as the cause.
