Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) released a medical report Monday, as questions mount about other 2020 candidates age, health and ability to take on the presidency.
Klobuchars medical report, written by Jennifer McKeand of Womens Health Consultants in Minneapolis, describes her in very good health based on a Jan. 6 physical and records from Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis and Washington.
Senator Amy J. Klobuchar is in very good health, McKeand wrote. She does not have any health conditions that would impair her ability to perform the duties of the Presidency.
McKeand wrote that the senators cardiac assessments showed a mild high concentration of lipids and a history of mitral valve prolapse. A cardiologist at Mayo Clinic said she should take an echocardiogram in three to five years.
But her risk for cardiac disease is 1 percent, so she does not require heart medication at this time.
She also went through hip replacement and revision for hip dysplasia in 2006.
Tests for diabetes, thyroid disease, anemia, and colon and cervical cancer found healthy results, and McKeand wrote Klobuchar's blood pressure was excellent. Her report includes two pages of information, including from a blood test, from the lab.
