A ng iopla st y: the opening of coronar y arter ies is discussed

By STEPHEN D. HARRISON, M.D.

Many people are familiar with the term angioplasty, referring to the opening of coronary arteries by balloon procedure. Coronary is a word that relates to the heart. When disease occurs in the coronary arteries, it may be treated in a variety of ways depending on the severity, other conditions and risk factors the person may possess.

Angioplasty is a method employed for people with heart disease, although it cannot be performed on everyone. Certain criteria must be met including having diseased vessels that can be reached safely by the balloon. Further, those vessels should be the type and nature that are normally improved by the procedure. The cardiologist, often in reviewing films based on an angiogram, can help determine whether this is possible.

The angiogram shares many features with the angioplasty as it is the same type of procedure, but dye is employed so pictures may be taken like a film rather than a balloon inserted.

With angioplasty, a tiny balloon is inserted into a blocked vessel that supplies the heart with blood. The balloon is inflated to unclog the vessel. The balloon is attached to a long, flexible tube called a catheter. Under local anesthesia, the balloon catheter is introduced into the artery systems, often though the vessels in the groin area. The physician steers the catheter to target blood vessels into the heart while watching the catheter advance on a screen. When the blockage or obstruction is reached, the balloon is inflated and pulled back. The balloon is deflated and removed with the catheter with the hope that the blockings have been partially opened. This procedure has helped many patients avoid coronary artery bypass surgery, but cannot be used for all types of blocked vessels.

The procedure unfortunately is not without risk. Chest pain and even heart attacks can occur with the procedure, though they are not common. Many patients say the most uncomfortable aspect of the procedure is having to lie on their back and keep still for several hours after the procedure. Generally, the procedure is considered a safe one.

The initial success rate is on the order of 90% at some institutions. However, about 25% to 30% of these vessels that were opened will re-stenose and become blocked within six months. This is solved by repeating the angioplasty or continuing with medical therapy since the time period of six months can be an important duration for getting the patient back to a healthier lifestyle.

Symptoms of re-stenosis may be the same as those experienced before the angioplasty, such as chest pain during exertion or stress, shortness of breath, etc. After the procedure, sometimes an exercise stress test is performed down the road.

The most important task for the patient is to reduce his coronary risk factors – stop smoking, limit alcohol intake, reduce saturated fat and cholesterol, do moderate exercise and lower stress. Your physician will help guide you activity level.

Publication was hereby made for equalized assessed valuations for real property in this Township District in accordance with 35 ILCS 200/12-10. As required by 35 ILCS 200/9-210 and 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the following equalization factors have been applied to bring the assessments to the statutorily required threeyear median level of 33.33%: Residential: 1.0386 Commercial: 1.0000 Industrial: 1.0000 Farm Home & Site: 1.0389 Other Land & Improvements 1.0389 Questions about these valuations should be directed to: Kathy Hogue, Township Assessor Morrison, IL 61270 (815)499-7062 Office Hours are: By Appointment Only

Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the Farm land assessments for the 2022 assessment year will increase by 10% of the preceding year’s median cropped soil productivity index as certified by the Illinois Department of Revenue with data provided by the Farmland Assessment Technical Advisory Board resulting in a $38.73 per acre increase for each soil productivity index.

Property in this Township, other than farmland and coal, is to be assessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash value of the property. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. You may appeal your assessment to the Board of Review.

If you believe your property’s fair cash value is incorrect or that the equalized assessed valuation is not uniform with other comparable properties in the same neighborhood, the following steps should be taken: 1. Contact your Township assessor’s office to review the assessment. 2. If not satisfied with the assessor review, taxpayers may file a complaint with the Whiteside County Board of Review. For complaint forms, instructions, and the Rules and Procedures of the Board of Review, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.white side.org for more information. 3. The final filing deadline for your Township District is generally 30 days from this publication date. After this date the Board of Review is prohibited by law from accepting assessment complaints for properties in this Township. For more information on complaint deadlines, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside.org.

Your property may be eligible for homestead exemptions, which can reduce your property’s taxable assessment. For more information on homestead exemptions, call (815)772-5195 or visit www.whiteside. org.

Your property tax bill will be calculated as follows: Final Equalized Assessed Value –Exemptions=Taxable Assessment

Taxable Assessment X Current Tax Rate= Total Tax Bill

All equalized assessed valuations are subject to further equalization and revision by the Whiteside County Board of Review as well as equalization by the Illinois Department of Revenue.

A complete list of assessments for these Townships for the current assessment year, except for those assessments that were changed solely by equalization as noted above, is as follows:
