>But Rodman & Renshaw analyst Michael King said RSD1235 has the "most attractive safety and efficacy profile of any AF agent to date"<

This is not true. RSD1235 actually delivers a lower rate of conversion (ie. efficacy) than electric cardioversion. The trade-off is whether an IV agent is more convenient / preferable as compared to the mild sedation that accompanies cardioversion.

FWIW, where I work, there isn't much that is holding docs back from using cardioversion.
