Have you heard or read (in regards to starting Evenity) that Sclerostin levels should be measured before using Evenity. As those with naturally lower levels of Sclerostin may be at greater risk of a cardiac adverse event.

I haven't heard or read about measuring sclerostin levels before taking Evenity. I have heard that the risk of a cardiac adverse event is very low if any signal while taking Evenity. There was a trial of Evenity versus alendronate where there was a signal, but the belief is that alendronate might be cardio protective. A placebo was not included in that trial.
