Gene therapy appears promising as a targeted treatment of cardiac diseases. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and also a major contributor to stroke, heart failure, and death. Mechanisms that initiate and sustain AF are associated with structural and electrophysiological remodeling in the whole atria. Selection of the appropriate gene delivery method is critical for transduction efficacy. The ideal gene delivery method to manage AF should provide widespread and sufficient exposure to the transgene in atria only that safely maintains the homeostasis of the heart without off-target expression. All these requirements can be achieved using atrial gene painting that is directly applied to the atrial epicardial surface. In this chapter, we present the advantages of atrial gene painting and the experimental method, as applied to a large animal model of AF.
