Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary outcome is the diagnostic performance of the index test (bedside<br /><br>JVP measurement), compared with the two reference tests (echocardiography and<br /><br>serum BNP concentration). </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The secondary outcome is the feasibility of reliably measuring JVP at the<br /><br>bedside. The subjective report of the residents concerning different aspects of<br /><br>the quality of the measurement are used to establish this outcome.</p><br>
