Abstract

Current case is 93-year-old female with hypertension and hyperuricemia treated by amlodipine and Febuxostat. Biochemistry exams showed stable for 7 years, where Average Value (Av), Standard Deviation (SD) and Coefficient of Variation (CV) were calculated. In particular, liver function, Red Blood Cell (RBC) and Hemoglobin (Hb) showed low CVs.   Ankle Brachial pressure Index (ABI) values were 1.12/1.01 (right/left), and Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) showed 8.5/8.2 (right/left), with stable situation for 5 years. Persisting less arteriosclerotic situation may be rather rare for 93-years old, which are from basically regular lifestyle, mild hypertension controlled with amlodipine 2.5 mg/day, and good communication skill.
