Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a significant cause of stroke. The lack of contractility from the upper chambers of the heart (atria) lead to pooling of the blood with resultant “clot “ (thrombus) formation. Should even small elements of these clots disperse, and embolize to the brain: the result is a stroke. The latter can be a catastrophic event in a patient and their families lives. Most often, patients are left with a loss of function speech, vision, cognitive abilities , ability to use an arm, leg etc.

The nose is a rigid passageway that allows air to pass into the lower respiratory tract. In infancy, air passing through the nose is the primary way how the infant gets oxygen into the lungs. If there’s a significant nasal deformity or blockage in the back of the nose causing air hunger, surgery may be vital to save the infant’s life. In adults, nasal obstruction in compromised patients can also have life threatening consequences. The heart, brain and other organ systems cannot survive without oxygen and it’s important to note how air is delivered to the lungs.
