Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of dronedarone for the control of ventricular rate at rest and during exercise in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and to assess the tolerability of dronedarone in the target population.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with symptomatic permanent AF (\>6 months) for which cardioversion is not considered and resting ventricular rate \> or equal 80 bpm at screening measured on a 6-seconds rhythm strip,
You may not qualify if:
- Unstable angina pectoris, recent myocardial infarction or history of torsades de pointes
- Third degree atrioventricular block at the screening ECG or significant sinus node disease without a permanent pacemaker implanted
- Clinically overt congestive heart failure at randomization
- Patients treated with amiodarone, other antiarrhythmic drugs or previous participation in this trial or in other dronedarone trials or taking an investigational drug
- Clinically relevant haematologic, hepatic, gastro-intestinal, renal, pulmonary, endocrinologic or psychiatric disease
- Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women or women of child-bearing potential with no adequate birth control
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.
