Barbarella described the labs as “exceptional, including stable metabolic, hematologic, and cardiac parameters.” He characterized Trump’s “cardiac age” as “approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.”In this case the doctors used an electrocardiogram, or a test that checks the electrical activity of the heart, to estimate Trump’s cardiac age. This can be done in conjunction with artificial intelligence or other analyses to provide more insight into somebody’s risk of heart disease.Barbarella said Trump, 79, received the flu shot and a Covid vaccine booster “in preparation for upcoming international travel.”Covid shots have become harder to get under the Trump administration. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its Covid vaccine guidance on Monday, limiting its recommendation for the shots only to people 65 or older or those with an underlying health condition — and only after they consult doctors, nurses or pharmacists. That change comes after many states had set their own guidance on vaccines, resulting in a complex landscape with a patchwork of different vaccine policies, making it harder to find the shot depending on where a person lives.The CDC’s acting director, Jim O’Neill, signed off on that change based on the recommendations of the agency’s vaccine advisory panel, which Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. overhauled earlier this year after firing all its members and replacing them with his own picks.Former CDC Director Susan Monarez testified during a Senate committee hearing last month that Kennedy, a longtime vaccine skeptic, pressured her to pre-emptively approve vaccine recommendations from the panel, and grew “upset” when she refused to do so.Trump’s visit to Walter Reed also comes a month after he rebuffed rumors that he was in poor health as a result of a persistent bruise on the back of his hand, and after he did not appear in public for several consecutive days.
