Cardiac biomarkers in acute myocardial infarctionSally J Aldous
Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand
Int J Cardiol 164:282-94. 2013..The measurement of multiple biomarkers and the use of point of care markers may accelerate current diagnostic protocols for the assessment of such patients...
A 2-hour thrombolysis in myocardial infarction score outperforms other risk stratification tools in patients presenting with possible acute coronary syndromes: Comparison of chest pain risk stratification toolsSally J Aldous
Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand Electronic address
Am Heart J 164:516-23. 2012..Accelerated diagnostic pathways for risk stratification of patients presenting to the emergency department with potential acute coronary syndromes may identify very-low-risk patients safe for early discharge to outpatient care...
High-sensitivity troponin T for early rule-out of myocardial infarction in recent onset chest painSally Aldous
Christchurch Hospital, Cardiology Department, New Zealand
Emerg Med J 29:805-10. 2012..To investigate whether a high-sensitivity troponin assay, shown to improve early detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), permits accelerated rule-in/rule-out of AMI...
The use of troponin in general practiceSally Aldous
Cardiology Department, Christchurch Hospital, Riccarton Ave, Christchurch, New Zealand
N Z Med J 125:36-43. 2012..The aim of this study was to assess the utilisation of cardiac troponin testing in the community...
A new improved accelerated diagnostic protocol safely identifies low-risk patients with chest pain in the emergency departmentSally J Aldous
Department of Cardiology, Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand
Acad Emerg Med 19:510-6. 2012....
ST2 has diagnostic and prognostic utility for all-cause mortality and heart failure in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest painSally J Aldous
Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand

Diagnostic and prognostic utility of early measurement with high-sensitivity troponin T assay in patients presenting with chest painSally J Aldous
Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand
CMAJ 184:E260-8. 2012..High-sensitivity troponin assays are now available for clinical use. We investigated whether early measurement with such an assay is superior to a conventional assay in the evaluation of acute coronary syndromes...
The real world experience of the everolimus-eluting coronary stent system: audit of everolimus-eluting coronary stentsSally Aldous
Cardiology Department, Christchurch Hospital, New Zealand
J Interv Cardiol 24:241-6. 2011..To investigate the safety and efficacy of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in a real world population, including those with high-risk characteristics and complex lesions...
High sensitivity troponin outperforms contemporary assays in predicting major adverse cardiac events up to two years in patients with chest painSally J Aldous
Cardiology Department, Christchurch Hospital, Riccarton Road, Christchurch, New Zealand
Ann Clin Biochem 48:249-55. 2011..The aim of this study was to compare prognostic utility of high-sensitivity troponin with contemporary troponin assays in such patients...
Early dynamic change in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T in the investigation of acute myocardial infarctionSally J Aldous
Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand
Clin Chem 57:1154-60. 2011..How much troponin must change has not been specified. We ascertained whether dynamic changes (δ) in high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) improved diagnostic and prognostic test performance in the emergency department...
Comparison of high sensitivity and contemporary troponin assays for the early detection of acute myocardial infarction in the emergency departmentSally J Aldous
Cardiology Department, Christchurch Hospital, Riccarton Road, Christchurch, New Zealand
Ann Clin Biochem 48:241-8. 2011..Past troponin assays have been unreliable at the lower end of the range. Highly sensitive assays have therefore been developed to increase the clinical sensitivity for detection of myocardial injury...
The performance of high sensitivity troponin for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction is underestimatedSally J Aldous
Department of Cardiology, Christchurch Hospital, Christchurch, New Zealand
Clin Chem Lab Med 50:727-9. 2012..Such analyses often do not show superiority of high sensitivity assays compared with contemporary assays meeting precision guidelines...
