American-Australian-African Trial With Dronedarone in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation or Atrial Flutter for the Maintenance of Sinus Rhythm

Summary

To assess the efficacy of dronedarone versus placebo for the maintenance of normal sinus rhythm after electrical, pharmacological or spontaneous conversion of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AF/AFL). To assess the efficacy of dronedarone versus placebo on ventricular rate control in case of AF/AFL recurrence. To assess the efficacy of dronedarone versus placebo on AF/AFL-related symptoms.
