The White House report mentions that tests conducted via ECG show Trump's 'cardiac age' is approximately 14 years younger. Doctors state this is an indicator of heart functionality and overall health. This medical exam took place at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (Bethesda, Maryland), traditionally the main medical center for U.S. Presidents. The visit was conducted six months after his comprehensive health examination last April.

Trump has capitalized on health in electoral strategy
The April report indicated Trump's height as 6 feet 3 inches (190 centimeters) and weight at 224 pounds (approximately 102 kg) with cholesterol levels under control. At that time, his fitness, along with his regular golf regimen, was praised by doctors.
This report comes amidst President Joe Biden's decision to step down from the 2024 election race due to fitness concerns. Trump has leveraged his perceived health advantages over Biden as a significant electoral strategy, portraying himself as fitter and more energetic.
