Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a well-known cardiologist and former physician to Vice President Dick Cheney, has expressed skepticism regarding President Donald Trump's recent medical examination. He raised several questions about the necessity of a second coronary artery CT scan conducted just six months after the last one, noting that such scans are typically reserved for cases where there are concerns about previous findings. Reiner also highlighted discrepancies in the medical report, particularly regarding Trump's ankle swelling, which was described as improved despite no previous record of edema. Additionally, he questioned the high dosage of aspirin prescribed to Trump and the rationale for multiple cognitive assessments using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). Reiner criticized the use of an AI tool that suggested Trump's heart age was equivalent to that of a 66-year-old, calling it not clinically validated. Finally, he queried why Trump is now receiving medical evaluations biannually instead of the standard annual check-up, despite the overall positive assessment of his health by Dr. Barbabella, the White House physician.
