What is missconnective tissue disease?
Hello, I see you are asking "What is connective tissue disease?" A connective tissue disease is any disease that affects the parts of the body that connect the structures of the body together. Connective tissues are made up of two proteins: collagen and elastin. Collagen is a protein found in the tendons, ligaments, skin, cornea, cartilage, bone and blood vessels.

What is the term given to mounds of lipid material mixed with smooth muscle cells and calcium that develop in the artery walls?
Plaques are mounds of lipid material, mixed with smooth muscle cells and calcium that develop in the artery walls in atherosclerosis. Fatty streaks are an accumulation of just cholesterol and other lipids along the artery wall. They do not contain calcium and smooth muscle cells as plaques do. We get fatty streaks very early in childhood, then as we grow into adolescence, the fatty streaks gain fibrous connective tissue. Then as we age into young adults those fibrous connective tissues can calcify and "mound". Increased number and size of these plaques causes increase in heart disease. Arterial damage and blockage of blood flow lead to strokes and heart attacks.

What is heterogenous hypoechoic?
Heterogeneous hypoechoic refers to an ultrasound appearance where the tissue or structure being examined has mixed or varied echogenicity with areas that appear darker than surrounding tissue. This can indicate the presence of different types of tissue within the area of interest that have different acoustic properties, potentially suggesting abnormality or pathology. Additional imaging studies or clinical evaluation may be needed to determine the underlying cause.
