Table 4 A comparison of renal venous stasis index and intravenous renal flow patterns between groups.

Renal Doppler parameters	Atrial fibrillation (n=34)	Sinus rhythm (n=34)	p value
Resistive Index	0.60±0.07	0.58±0.07	0.240
Renal Venous Stasis Index	0.20 (0.00–0.38)	0.00 (0.00–0.10)

Continuous	12 (35.3%)	22 (64.7%)
Pulsatile	12 (35.3%)	11 (32.4%)	0.798
Biphasic	10 (29.4%)	1 (2.9%)
Monophasic	0	0
Values are given as mean±standard deviation or median (interquartile range). p
