months duration and is clinically indicated for cardioversion;

- Have adequate anticoagulant therapy for cardioversion in accordance with standard of
practice as recommended by ACC/AHA/ESC guidelines (Fuster V. et al, 2006);

- Be haemodynamically stable (100 mmHg < systolic blood pressure < 190 mmHg) at
screening and on Day 1 before dosing (while taking rate control drugs, if required).
After resting supine for 3 minutes, blood pressures should be measured 3 times in 5
minutes with at least 1 minute between assessments;

- Have a body weight between 45 and 113 kg (99 and 250 lbs).
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
85 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?

Key exclusion criteria
- Have known prolonged QT syndrome or QTcB interval of >0.500 sec as measured at
screening on a 12 lead ECG; familial long QT syndrome; previous Torsades de Pointes;
ventricular fibrillation; or sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT).

- Have a QRS >0.140 sec;

- Documented previous episodes of second or third-degree atrioventricular block;

- Have clinically significant persistent bradycardia with ventricular rate below 50
beats/min, sick-sinus syndrome or pacemaker;

- Have clinically significant moderate or severe aortic valvular stenosis (gradient >25
mmHg), hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy or
constrictive pericarditis;

- Have Class III or Class IV congestive heart failure at screening or admission, or have
been hospitalized for heart failure in the previous 6 months;

- Have a myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac surgery, angioplasty, unstable angina or
acute coronary syndrome within 30 days prior to entry into the study; h) Have serious
pulmonary, hepatic, metabolic, renal (serum creatinine > 2.0 mg/dl), gastrointestinal,
central nervous system (CNS) or psychiatric disease, end-stage disease states, or any
other disease that could interfere with the conduct or validity of the study or
compromise subject safety;

- Have known concurrent temporary secondary causes of AF such as alcohol intoxication,
pulmonary embolism, hyperthyroidism, pneumonia, hypoxemia (oxygen saturation < 90% on
room air), acute pericarditis, or myocarditis;

- Potassium (K+) <3.5 mmol/L or >5.5 mmol/L or magnesium (Mg2+) below the lower limit of
normal (Mg2+< 0.65 mmol/L in subjects 65 years or younger and <0.80 mmol/L in subjects
66 years or older). (Both K+ and Mg2+ should be corrected prior to dosing);

- Have clinical evidence of digoxin toxicity;

- Have received an oral Class I or Class III antiarrhythmic agent (including sotalol)
within 3 days of randomisation or oral amiodarone within 4 weeks, or have received
intravenous Class I or Class III antiarrhythmic agent or i.v. amiodarone within 24
hours prior to start of dosing;

- Have any other surgical or medical condition that, in the judgment of the clinical
Investigator might warrant exclusion or be contraindicated for safety reasons;
