Double blind study to assess versus placebo the efficacy of SSR149744C for the conversion of atrial fibrillation/flutter to sinus rhythm at the time of the planned electrical cardioversion.
This is a dose ranging multicenter, multinational, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel arm study. Patients with AF/AFL will be randomized to one of two doses of SSR149744C. The efficacy of SSR149744C will be based on the proportion of patients converting to normal sinus rhythm at the end of the treatment period (48 hours post first dose). Patients will receive the study drug on D1 and D2. Patients not converting pharmacologically to sinus rhythm will undergo an electrical cardioversion on D3.

The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of conversion to sinus rhythm documented by ECG just before the planned electrical cardioversion on D3 i.e. after 48 hours following the first study drug administration.
The secondary efficacy endpoint will be the mean ventricular rate during AF/AFL on the 12-lead ECG performed just before the planned electrical cardioversion on D3 i.e. after 48 hours following the first study drug administration.
