  • \-High ACPA titer (\>3x cut\-off)
  • 3\) With or without current joint pain, but without current clinical synovitis (ultrasound exam should not be performed in case of doubt, since US was shown to be often false\-positive in this patient group)
  • 4\) Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • 4\) Use of statins or other lipid\-lowering agents within the last three months.
  • 5\) A history of previous use of statins discontinued due to side effects.
  • 6\) Patients with an indication for statin therapy according to local guidelines. All patients will be screened pior to randomisation
  • 7\) Previous use of DMARDs other than hydroxychloroquine, or use of hydroxychloroquine within the last three months.
  • 8\) A history of oral or parenteral use of corticosteroids within the last 12 weeks used to treat the current episode of musculoskeletal symptoms.

TRial of Atorvastatin for the primary prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Rheumatoid Arthritis - TRACE RARheumatoid arthritis is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins have a proven effect in reducing CVD events in at-risk populations, mostly due to their cholesterol-lowering properties, but possibly through anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. This trial will assess the hypothesis that atorvastatin is more effective than placebo in the primary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with RA.
