While not usually life-threatening, CVI can significantly impact quality of life and, if left untreated, may lead to complications like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism


At least there's still hope, however

particularly on long airplane trips. Maybe not so many AF1 flights (where you know he's just sitting and eating), and he'll have to start walking when he plays golf instead of driving his fat ass all over the course in a golf cart.

with effective management, many people are diagnosed with this condition and continue living happy active lives. Effective management often requires not simply medication but various kinds of efforts from the patient involving diet and exercise. Not too hard to see where he might fall down there.
