330   $aAtrial fibrillation is underdiagnosed and preventative strategies are underutilized.  The disease is estimated to rise to an epidemic level, increasing by over 50% by the end of the decade, occurring commonly in the setting of otherwise "healthy" aging. Innovative Management of Atrial Fibrillation provides a forum for a full discussion on this topical matter. Distinguished experts from both electrophysiology and cardiac surgery place their work in the context of future development, examining the short-comings of current pharmacological treatments. This results in a uni
