North American, European, Australian, and Asian cardiologists summarize their work on the non-pharmacological management of patients with atrial fibrillation, and place it in the context of future development. Among them are some whose work has not previously been applied to managing the condition but shows promise of contributing. In sections on the atrial substrate, developing strategies, and potential areas of opportunity, they consider such aspects as the molecular basis of atrial fibrillation, implantable device therapy, and tissue engineering.
