What CNN Didnāt Tell You About Trumpās Heart Health [VIDEO]
"CNN left out crucial details on Wednesday while advancing a narrative in which President Trumpās heart health is of serious concern.
CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta diagnosed Trump with heart disease on Wednesday, pointing to Trumpās coronary calcium score of 133, which White House doctor Ronny Jackson released on Tuesday while giving Trump a clean bill of health.
Gupta pointed to a Mayo Clinic webpage that says a score between 100 and 300 āis associated with a relatively high risk of heart attack or other heart disease over the next three to five years.ā But Gupta didnāt dive very deep into what the data about Trumpās heart health actual shows, or attempt to quantify Trumpās risk of heart attack or similar heart disease.
So The Daily Caller did.
The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) has a publicly available algorithm for calculating the risk of heart attack or coronary heart disease that takes into account the patientās calcium coronary score and other factors such as cholesterol level and family history of heart disease. The New York Times previously used the MESA algorithm for a 2016 article evaluating Trump and Clintonās health.
Using the results of Trumpās medical exam from Dr. Jackson, The Daily Caller calculated Trumpās risk of heart attack or similar heart disease. According to that algorithm, Trumpās risk from heart attack or other coronary heart disease is just 4.1 percent each year for the next 10 years."
