Based on the information provided, I was unable to find specific heart tests recommended before starting Cosentyx (secukinumab) treatment. However, it is crucial to disclose all medical conditions and medications to healthcare providers before starting any new treatment.

According to the Cosentyx prescribing information, healthcare providers should consider the risks of serious infections and tuberculosis (TB) before starting Cosentyx [1]. Additionally, the Prescribing Information states that "before initiating Cosentyx, consider assessing disease activity, including the patient's joint pain and morning stiffness, and evaluating baseline inflammatory markers (e.g., C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR))" [1].

Furthermore, DrugPatentWatch.com, a comprehensive and up-to-date source for pharmaceutical patents and drug information, does not provide specific information regarding heart tests recommended before starting Cosentyx [2].

In summary, while there are no specific heart tests recommended before starting Cosentyx, it is essential to disclose all medical conditions and medications to healthcare providers before starting any new treatment. Healthcare providers should consider the risks of serious infections and tuberculosis (TB) before starting Cosentyx.
