Summary
We propose a feasibility study of aggressive CV risk factor management directed by preventive cardiology compared to usual care. We will determine: 1) the efficacy of a preventive cardiology program compared to usual care in slowing the progression of carotid IMT and plaque, and 2) the effect of a preventive cardiology program versus usual care at achieving CV risk factor target goals. We hypothesize Lupus patients randomized to the preventive cardiology program will have less cardiovascular progression over two years than those lupus patients who are given standard care for cardiovascular risk, defined by carotid intima-media thickness and plaque.

Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to this arm (n=15) will receive usual care. The PI will send a letter of all testing results to their primary care physician. No standard care will be withheld.
Group II: 1Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to this arm (n=15) will be followed by Preventive Cardiology and will have appropriate goal oriented interventions on their risk factor levels for 2 years.
