“President Trump continues to demonstrate excellent overall health,” Barbabella wrote. “His cardiac age-a validated measure of cardiovascular vitality via ECG-was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age.”

MRI scans use strong magnetic fields to create images of the inside of a patient’s body and can detect a wide range of conditions. Doctors usually prescribe MRIs to provide detailed images of the heart and vascular system, spine, brain, knees, and other parts of the body.
