"The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies. Bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70," the memo said.
Leavitt said the bruise on his hand was "consistent" with irritation from "frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin." She added that "the president remains in excellent health."

Similar images of apparent bruising on the president's hand made the rounds online after Trump's visit with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House on Feb. 24. Leavitt said in a statement to NBC News that the president's hand was bruised "because he’s constantly working and shaking hands all day every day."
Photos of Trump's hand covered in makeup were also seen during his July 27 meeting in Scotland with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First of all, this White House will never be transparent about anything that doesn't make Trump look great, so we will never know the truth. Trump could live another 10+ years with this condition(because we don't know how bad it is) or he could drop dead BEFORE Biden does, which would be ironic.
However, we know that they are lying about several things here, which means they don't want us to know the truth, which means it's worse than they claim. Let's just cover the facts which they are very likely lying about.
1. "CVI is a benign condition." No it's not!!! It's normally associated with issues on the lower legs(Trump's cankels/severe edema that shows thru his socks for instance). If it's advanced to the point of causing symptoms on his right hand, it's very likely in a more advanced stage. We will never see his actual legs to know for sure how bad they look.
2. The discoloration that keeps popping up in the exact same place on his right hand is likely NOT JUST from hand shaking and taking aspirin. That explanation, to anybody that understands basic medicine, health and human anatomy is laughable, especially since they admitted that he has Chronic Venous Insufficiency and the image on the next page, shows a huge varicose vein feeding right into the bruise.
3. First of all, with that condition at his currently advanced stage(cause the symptoms they acknowledge, only because we can see them) he would not just be taking aspirin. He's taking prescription blood thinners! 2nd of all hand shaking is extremely unlikely the main cause for the massive bruise, covering up half of the back of his right hand (that keeps reappearing since it won't completely heal because of his disease) and for sure it didn't cause the same thing on his left hand(I can't find an image of that one, however). Trumps right hand bruise first grabbed attention in February 2024.
4. They lied to us earlier this year after Trumps comprehensive medical exam results were released. 100% they knew he had this condition. They didn’t admit it until it got so bad that we could see it thru his socks and on his hands. It would be interesting to see what Trumps lower legs look like.
The White House
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/04/memorandum-from-the-white-house-physician/
BUSTED!!! Blatant lies about his cardiac, skin and neurological conditions!!!! No mention about his chronic venous insufficiency that is at least in stage 4 based on what we see (and they had to admit) and has been there for at least several years.
i also think they lied about his O2 reading being 99%. This actually is an area of my expertise. At 79 years old, being overweight and with CVI, the chance for his resting pulsox/blood oxygen being 99% is minuscule. He would have to be doing deep breathing to get it that high!!! This suggests that this entire medical report is worthless since it fabricated numerous facts to give the appearance that Trumps health is better than it really is.

Donald Trump's Bruised Hands Come Under Scrutiny: 'People Deserve Answers'
+++++++++++++++
https://www.modernheartandvascular.com/the-stages-of-chronic-venous-insufficiency/
The venous disorders stages include the following:
–STAGE 0: You cannot feel or see signs. However, you may feel symptoms such as tired or achy legs.
–STAGE 1: The first stage is when you can see the blood vessels, including the formation of spider veins on the legs. These blood vessels look unsightly but do not always cause pain or discomfort. However, it would be wise to be aware of and pay attention to them.
–STAGE 2: When you see prominent, bulging veins on your legs and feet, you start to have varicose veins (at least three millimeters wide). Some individuals do not suffer discomfort with varicose veins, but many do.
–STAGE 3: There is swelling (edema) but no skin changes. (Chronic venous insufficiency diagnosis). They worsen if you do not heal your varicose veins at first glance. One of the things that occur when you do not get treatment is swelling.
This swelling results from poor circulation in your body and can significantly hinder your quality of life. Swelling may also contribute to damage to your lymphatic system.
–STAGE 4: When you leave your veins untreated, blood continues to accumulate in the area surrounding the damaged vein, causing skin discoloration or rashes; variations in the texture or color of your skin. In addition, the accumulation of blood on the surface may trigger an inflammatory response indicated by an itchy red rash (venous stasis dermatitis).
–STAGE 5: If you continue to leave your damaged veins untreated, venous insufficiency may progress to venous stasis ulcers and open sores resulting from skin tissue breakdown in the leg.
These sores and ulcers may be excruciating and make movement difficult. You do not want to reach this stage five of chronic venous insufficiency.
If you have advanced to this stage, you must evaluate and treat your veins as soon as possible. Treatment will help you heal the wounds and prevent a recurrence.
–STAGE 6: You have an active (acute) ulcer at stage six.
++++++++++++
We can't see Trump's uncovered legs to know if its worse than this but he is clearly, AT LEAST in STAGE 4. If his lower legs have experienced ulcers/sores than he's in STATE 5 or even STAGE 6.
Hands are usually impacted when this disease is already pretty bad, however Trump could have alot of sun damage from years of golfing that made his skin more fragile in that area. However, much more likely than not, his lower legs look pretty bad(discolored with possible ulcerations).
Regardless, he's the president with the best medical care in the world. There are procedures, some surgical to treat/manage (but not stop the disease). It's possible that him vanishing from the public's eye last week was the result of him having some minor surgical procedures(for example, to get rid of varicose veins) to treat this on his legs.
I'm not saying that's what happened, just saying that they can do things to lessen the damage and treat it that are pretty effective. The disease IS progressive and not curable so it WILL gradually get worse because they can't replace his heart and entire cardiovascular system. Again, he could live another 10+ years even with this.
At this point, I've only stated rock solid facts about what we know regarding President Trump and what we know about this disease which is at least STAGE 4 and on the verge of, if not already resulting in much more aggressive treatment to avoid complications of STAGES 5 and 6. He's the president! There is no way they would neglect the medical condition of a person like this in STAGE 4. He's been treated for years in all likelihood and may still be in STAGES 5 or 6(because it is progressive, even with the best treatments to slow it down or improve it temporarily).
In reading more about what Trump has and explanations from so called experts, I've been reading some nonsense about Trump's condition.
One of them is that since the White House tells us that Trump has Chronic Venous Insufficiency and that only impacts legs, his hand bruising can't be from that.
As if hands don't also have circulating blood and people don't ever develop blood circulation problems in their hands.
For sure the VAST majority with this condition have it in their legs. This is because gravity causes blood to pool downward into our legs, especially when standing for long periods. Also, the distance between your heart and legs/feet is much farther than the distance between your heart and arms/hands which makes it harder to circulate blood back and forth as effectively.
On the huge black and blue bruise that keeps coming back, I haven't been able to find an image of it on his left hand as was indicated. However, we can see below that Trump is developing varicose veins in his hands. The image below shows a huge varicose vein tracking down the center of his hand feeding into the base of his black and blue hand bruising. I would speculate that this damaged/varicose vein from his chronic venous insufficiency is the main source region for the blood pooling out to make this huge black and blue bruise that has been there much of the time since at least February 2024. I would further speculate that removal of that varicose vein would stop the bruising in his right hand. Even more speculation is that it's probably a couple orders of magnitude worse on his legs, which is where the biggest risk for a blood clot and other issues is not from his right hand pathology. The main reason to remove that varicose vein would be more for appearance(to stop the bruising that will only get worse as the varicose vein cannot heal). If it disappears suddenly, then thats what they did. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has not already had several procedures to remove varicose veins in his legs.
These are strongly associated with chronic venous insufficiency. Not always but very frequently and since the Trump team has admitted that he already has CVI, then its extremely likely this is big factor in that bruise.
Hand shaking and the prescription blood thinners that we know he MUST be taking but lying about, for sure could be a factor too. But that huge varicose vein isn't our imagination.
Varicose veins (venous insufficiency) is a condition in which veins are not able to pump blood back to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the blood vessels so that they become enlarged or varicose over time.
Venous insufficiency is a medical condition in which veins in the body (most often in the legs) are not able to pump blood back to the heart. This causes blood to pool in the blood vessels so that they become enlarged (varicose) or dilated over time.
We know that Trump is taking 2 different cholesterol lowering drugs from his medical report. There is just no way, with this condition and high cholesterol and those meds that he's not also taking a PRESCRIPTION blood thinner because of the greatly elevated chance of a blot clot that can be fatal!!!
https://unitedveincenters.com/blog/chronic-venous-insufficiency-and-blood-clots/
If you’re at high risk for clots, your healthcare provider may prescribe blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants). These medications reduce the blood’s ability to clot and may also be used if you’ve already experienced a DVT. Always take medications as directed and notify your doctor of any side effects.

I would be willing to bet that President Trump has already had this done on his legs.
On Trumps 99% O2 reading that his doctor claims was measured at his physical exam.
Trump was almost 80 when that exam took place. He's a medical miracle if his resting O2 readings are 99%, considering his age, being overweight, under tremendous stress, sleep deprived and chronic venous insufficiency suggests his vascular system is compromised. NO WAY!!!

The fact that they put 99% makes me think that he might have LOW oxygen for the following, speculative reason.
If you're healthy and have a solid O2 reading, you put down the real number, the truth!
If you are NOT healthy and have a low side O2 reading because of that and want to cover it up, you lie and use a fake reading.
Knowing Trump's mind, he wouldn't be content with just a normal 79 year old's reading of 94-95 or even a very healthy 96 or 97%.
He had to go to a completely not believable 99% for his age and compromising conditions.
If he had been an athlete his entire life and was still running marathons at 79, I might believe 99%. His conditions at 99%? NO WAY!
His medical stupidity and his pathological thinking that he's perfect/omnipotent and needs people to perceive him that way is what caused him to put down such an extreme, highly unlikely 99%. That's what busted him!

Hey Mike,
Aren’t back of hand bruises pretty normal for older folks? My dad had them often in his 80s. I thought it was related to thinning skin and less of a fat layer to protect the capillaries from bruising when bumping up against something:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/269857428655080/posts/1061481466159335/
https://www.havenhealthaz.com/blog/what-causes-unexplained-bruises-in-seniors/
Thanks, Larry. Yes for sure that can be one reason for elderly people.
There are a number of them. I mentioned trumps exposure to the sun from years of golfing and that skin damage also being a factor.
However, The White House acknowledged his CVI and images of his right hand clearly show a large, varicose vein going to the huge black and blue area that never moves which is very likely from his CVI.
The huge spot on the back of his right hand is always in that same location.
I have a collagen disorder, Ehlers Danlos that causes numerous senile pupura’s that manifest from the conditions that you mentioned. That’s what those images that you showed are.
These bruises move around to different places on my arms and hands, depending on where I get bumped at. They last in any 1 spot up to 3 weeks, which is how long it takes my body to completely absorb the blood. Same with other old people that get them. It’s never the same spot unless the bump hits the same spot and the pattern and size is different each time.
Trumps black and blue spot never moves and takes the same shape each time because it’s tethered to that big varicose vein which is causing it. That is not from normal aging or from what you mentioned or from what I have.
It would be interesting to see how bad his legs look, considering that we can see the edema bulging out thru his socks.
++++++++
I wouldn’t be surprised if they remove that varicose vein since it’s an easy,procedure and it would also minimize it turning into an ulcer but thats extremely unlikely.
The varicose vein and constant bruise on his hand is no major health risk, mainly an appearance thing…..with 1 exception. Varicose veins cause blood to pool in that vein which increases the Risk of a blood clot. That is,part of having CVI Which is manageable.
removing varicose veins
Blood clots are way more likely to form on his legs, however but for sure he’s taking a prescription blood thinner, not just aspirin which is almost automatic(unless he has some sort of clotting disorder).
Which is another good point.
Being on the prescription blood thinner IS, without question going to cause the blood leaking from his varicose veins to be worse. People like me, with senile purpuras always have worse bruising from having thinner blood/slower clotting.
So the treatment for the disease, makes that symptom worse but the blood leaking out into his surrounding tissues is not a threat to life. However, a blood clot is.
My comments on this are based on my familiarity with it because I've had this condition(unusually young) for almost 20 years because of my disease.
I've got 3 of them on my left forearm right now, close to the elbow from a slight bump around 2 weeks ago. They are around a week from completely fading(being absorbed).
https://dermnetnz.org/topics/senile-purpura
Image of Trump below:
++++++++++++
We should note in these images in the article that there are no varicose veins feeding the black and blue spots that are from blood leaking out and are classical (really bad) senile purpura's.
I can't make a definitive diagnosis just from the image of Trump's hand and this could be a purpura except that:
1. It comes back or stays in the exact same spot and seems to be the same size and shape. Purpuras don't do that.
2. There's a large varicose vein feeding into the base of it.
3. Trump has Chronic Venous Insufficiency
For sure there could be a host of factors going on simultaneously.
+++++++++++++++++++
Here's more, related to my Ehlers-Danlos:
https://empendium.com/mcmtextbook/chapter/B31.II.15.18.
1. Inherited vascular purpuras:
1) Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-Weber-Rendu disease).
2) Purpura associated with congenital connective tissue diseases: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Marfan syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta.
+++++++++++++++++++++
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome patients may be sensitive to bruising due to fragile capillaries and blood vessels surrounding the connective tissues. This story tells more about this symptom.
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-photographed-labor-day-amid-baseless-death-rumors-2122752
Again, Trump could live for another 10+ years with this condition or he could have a blood clot form in his legs and travel to his brain and cause a major stroke before then. His prescription blood thinners (that for sure he's taking) reduce the chance of that happening.
He's being monitored closely for this(and has had it for at least a couple of years), so they can take quick action to dissolve any blot clots with symptoms as they travel slowly in his body
He's on 2 cholesterol drugs also, so he may have alot of plaque built up in his arteries, which also increases the chance of a piece of it breaking off and acting like a blot clot. The risk is if this get's to your brain and blocks blood from flowing, which cuts off oxygen and causes brain tissue death. That is PURE speculation with very little information to make it more than that.
There is more that we DON'T know than what we do know and my assessments may seem to be very speculative but I'm just stating rock solid medical science, which strongly supports the assessment.
The range of severity in determining how bad or not bad this condition is for Trump's health/longevity is very wide.
There is a 0% chance that if this was serious, they would ever tell us.
His doctors report earlier this year completely lied about it, in fact. This condition takes years to slowly progress. If we saw the bad edema between his pant leg bottom and shoes, thru his socks, then it's been there for years and getting worse. That is NOT speculation, for instance.
We can see the varicose vein in his hand which still might be no big deal, except for the massive bruise associated with it for 1.5 years and the fact that he has CVI, which makes it potentially more concerning but not necessarily a major risk.
Related to this, I'm going to bring up a topic from previous threads/posts.
Our lung efficiency clearly determines how much O2 we get and you can see the drop off with age below. Breathing and lung function go hand in hand.
Sleep apnea is all about our breathing while we sleep and lung function is also a key factor in that.
Everybody, even those without sleep apnea are losing lung function gradually with age.
People WITH sleep apnea already have compromised breathing and can less afford to suffer the natural aging losses in lung function!!!
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9975246/
However, we can do some things to offset this and maintain most of our lung function!
Most people don't think about exercising their lungs vigorously. I believe what's best are the following:
VERY deep breathing, where you inhale to the point of it hurting. I do it with steam that also breaks up mucus and clears my sinus's.
If you exercise with very high intensity it forces this to happen to some extent but still isn't as good as super duper deep breathing, which helps to expand your lungs.
Use an incentive spirometer to exercise your lungs. Not just sick people or those recovering from a pulmonary illness. Everybody!

Not telling us what the MRI was for is telling us they don't want us to know!
The cover up continues on Trump's health.
Let me explain why below this article.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn5lx240greo
In his memo, Barbabella wrote that there is no evidence of arterial narrowing impairing blood flow or abnormalities in Trump's heart or major vessels. The doctor added that overall, Trump's cardiovascular system "shows excellent health".
The doctor added that overall, Trump's cardiovascular system "shows excellent health".
When he pressed by a reporter about which body part the MRI examined, Trump said: "I have no idea. It was just an MRI - what part of the body? It wasn't the brain, because I took a cognitive test and I aced it."
In July, the White House said that he had been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a vein condition that can result in swelling in the legs.
++++++++++++++++++++++
1. When was the last time that you, as an adult had an MRI and you had no idea what the MRI was for?
Answer: Never!
2. By definition, a person like Donald Trump, diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency that they already admitted he has (after we noted his obvious symptoms described above) can't have a perfect result or normal healthy result in a test like this.
This pathological condition of his cardiovascular system will never heal, especially at 79 years old. All you can do is treat it to reduce the chances of it getting worse and to improve the impacts.
Trump could live another decade with this condition with some good meds/treatments and if its not part of something worse(their lying makes me suspicious) but THEY ARE LYING ABOUT THE RESULTS!!!
Trump knew why they ordered the test and it did not show perfectly normal results!!!!!
https://www.veintreatmentclinic.com/vein-diseases/chronic-venous-insufficiency/
3. MRI's are used as diagnostics tools for a person with a condition, to see what state its in or to diagnose a condition. They don't use MRI's like this for preventative testing.
4. When was the last time a real doctor described the results of your test as "PERFECTLY normal"? That is a Donald Trump type expression. Trump has some sort of condition and he's telling his people what to say, including some of the verbiage of their lies.
+++++++++++++
It's extremely likely that he's had numerous other tests for this condition that they're not telling us about, just like Biden did for his significant cognitive decline that they blatantly lied about and just like the treatments for Joe BIden's long lived prostate cancer that he had during his entire time as president and they blatantly lied about until........suddenly after he's not president he has advanced prostate cancer.
Yeah, right

On #4 above:
AI Overview
Donald Trump uses the adjective "perfect" to describe himself, his accomplishments, and people he favors, often in hyperbolic or subjective ways, as seen in his claim to be a "perfect physical specimen". He also uses it to project confidence and success, such as when he declared his annual physical exam resulted in "perfecto". This usage is part of his communication style, which often relies on positive, absolute, and evaluative terms to make claims sound strong and definitive.
+++++++++++++++++++
What condition(s) are they covering up?
The bottom line is that people don't lie about the truth when its good news for them or if its what they want people to believe. They lie to cover up bad things.
We will likely find out eventually, just like we did about the lies they told us about Joe Biden's cognitive and physical health.
I will add something else on Trumps massive senile purpura that was popping up in the same place on the back of his right hand.
This is related to something that is NOT normal for sure.
But that could include them doing some sort of treatment that inserts a needle into the big varicose vein. Most of us have had blood drawn by a less than skilled thrombotamist that left a big bruise. Since I have Ehlers Danlos, get blood drawn numerous times/year and bleed excessively, that happened to me many dozens of times.
If there are numerous treatments that are using that varicose vein, this could just be excessive bruising(blood leaking into the tissue around that site when getting the treatment/test).
Again, the condition that they claim he has can be treated and he could live another 10 years.
My much bigger concern is his rapidly progressing dementia. One doesn't need to see his medical records to know with crystal clarity that Donald Trump has rapidly progressing dementia! Anybody that denies that is either in denial or doesn't follow medical conditions like this very closely.
This is INDEPENDENT of the politics.
Just a reminder, I do not affiliate with either party. I'm just an independent scientist generously sharing his objective views while teaching a few positive things. ......that includes speaking out against evil, propaganda and lies.

If Trump is taking aspirin for his venous insufficiency then it is totally possible That contributed to his bruises. My dad suffers the same way!
Can aspirin help venous insufficiency?
Medicines that increase blood flow through the vessels may be used along with compression therapy to help heal leg ulcers. Aspirin can also be used to help ulcers heal. Medicines that draw excess fluid from the body through the kidneys (diuretics) are not often used.
is aspirin good for venous insufficiency - Google Search
Because aspirin helps to stop your blood from clotting, it can sometimes make you bleed more easily. For example, you may get nosebleeds and bruise more easily, and if you cut yourself, the bleeding may take longer than normal to stop.
Thanks, cutworm!
Aspirin is a good preventative for many at risk people to thin blood and reduce chances of a blood clot.
With his diagnosed condition, he would more likely be taking a prescription blood thinner. Yes, this could have caused additional bleeding on the top of his hand.
Also, he's extremely likely to be taking other prescription drugs to treat this condition.

The following was sent to me from someone I know from online wx forums. I have it in italics since it’s a quote, but this includes edits I did for corrections:
After doing some reading and watching a couple of videos I think I've just about convinced myself that Donald Trump is on a drug called leqembi. It’s given through an IV once a month, which could explain his bruise and makeup covered right hand. It causes extreme drowsiness, which he clearly has since he can't stay awake through a cabinet meeting, and more importantly it requires MRIs to be done. I don't think anybody believes them when they said he was having a preventative MRI the other week. With leqembi, they have to do MRIs on the brain to make sure it isn't swelling.
What do you think?
OMG, Larry!
I was just getting ready to post this exact same thing!!!!
The biggest concern is fluid retention/edema on his brain for which he had the MRI for but it can also cause edema on his legs, which we know that he has enough to show thru his pants/socks.
I found it surprising that they would actually tell us that the fluid retention on his legs/feet was being caused by venous insufficiency because they never tell us anything bad.
Recently, they claimed he had no conditions, apparently forgetting that they already told us about the venous insufficiency that they probably made up to explain his edema from taking Lecanemab.

The thing that I insisted on with Biden too.
There is a 100% chance that Trump has dementia.
We can debate on how bad it is but anybody claiming he doesn't have it is in denial or just flat out wrong.
That being the case, there is also a 100% chance that they are treating it with the latest and best meds.
We can only speculate, like this about what those meds are but it's a very educated speculation based on what we've observed with Trump. He's also spends a great deal of time telling us about how he aces every cognitive test and how sharp he is and how dumb everybody else is which is Trumpese for "I have dementia and if I make up the opposite and repeat it over and over and over, everybody will believe the lies"

There are very few days that go by when Trump doesn't do several things in the same day that prove that he's unqualified to be president of the United States.
90% chance that Donald Trump will NOT finish his 2nd term.
There are 3 possibilities.
1. Impeachment in 2027. Near 100% chance that the D majority house will impeach him. Question is whether the Senate will vote with a 2/3rd majority to REMOVE him.
2. 25th Amendment removal.
3. Health issue. They are blatantly lying about some sort of health issue. We can see crystal clearly that he has progressive dementia. I can't imagine it not disabling him before the end of term. However, independent of that, after his MRI, he reported that he has no idea why they did an MRI. He obviously knows and doesn't want us to know the truth. They claim the doctor reported his MRI was "perfectly normal" No doctor ever uses that term. That is a Donald Trump term. They claimed the MRI was being used as a preventative test. That's a lie. MRI's are DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS used when somebody already has a condition or symptoms, not on somebody in good health with no justification.

So as Larry and I suspect, the MRI was on his brain because he's taking this drug. We should note that they told us that the MRI was of his heart and abdomen........after Trump told us initially that he didn't know what it was for and what body parts were scanned.
++++++++++++++++++
White House physician Sean P. Barbabella characterized the scan as "standard for an executive physical at President Trump's age."
The White House physician, Sean P. Barbabella, wrote in a memo that the MRI was of Trump's cardiovascular system and abdomen, and said all of the imaging was “perfectly normal.” He said that the imaging was done “because men in his age group benefit from a thorough evaluation of cardiovascular and abdominal health.”
Trump is 79.
“The purpose of this imaging is preventive: to identify issues early, confirm overall health, and ensure he maintains long-term vitality and function,” the memo says.

Here's another reason to be suspicious of the heart MRI story.
I have several health issues related to my Ehlers Danlos. One of the issues causes Afib, which is an irregular heart beat. As a result, I have the GOLD STANDARD test to make sure my heart works properly and is structurally sound.
I've had numerous MRI's in several places of my body thru the years but the number of MRI's I've had on my heart is ZERO!!!
The GOLD STANDARD TEST for hearts is called an echocardiogram!!!
Here's how a doctor compares the tests:
Former M.D. Author has 12.4K answers and 5.2M answer views
In general, an echocardiogram is much more useful than a cardiac MRI.
Echos gather and display data in ‘real time’ and at higher resolution—and at much lower cost. And you can see the heart ‘parts’ moving, which is important.
Cardiac MRIs are difficult to obtain. The heart is always moving, It takes many minutes to gather enough data-points to give a good image. So the acquisition must be ‘gated’ (timed to the EGK signal. But you always get some motion, which causes blurring.
Cardiac MRIs are (or should be) confined to special conditions issues. They can look for Rt. Ventricular dysplasia, make a judgement as to whether a ‘heart attack’ area is all scar or has significant hibernating myocardium. They cost a ‘pretty penny’ because the piece of equipment is over $2,000,000 and they take a long time, so you can’t do very many a day.
Their use in coronary disease: often the results are inconclusive. Nuclear medicine and Cardiac CTs are usually more satisfactory.

So the heart MRI story makes no sense when there are much better tests to observe and record the heart IN ACTION and CLEARLY.

“After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean ‘THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.’ They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it.”
