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.

The life expectancy for a patient with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) varies depending on the specific symptoms, disease severity, and individual response to treatment. With appropriate medical care and management, many individuals with MCTD can live a relatively normal lifespan. Regular monitoring by healthcare providers and adherence to treatment plans are important for improving outcomes and quality of life for patients with MCTD.
Elastin. Usually found mixed in with other CTs like collagen, elastin is essentially impossible to render edible.
Blood is considered a liquid connective tissue. All connective tissues have additional substances in their extracellular matrix, like ground substance, that when mixed in different ratios with the extracellular matrix can produce connective tissue such as blood, that is a liquid, or something much harder, bone.
Critical illness insurance typically covers specific illnesses as defined in the policy, and whether it pays out for mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) depends on the insurer's terms. If MCTD leads to a covered condition, such as heart disease or kidney failure, a payout may be possible. However, it's essential to review the policy details and consult with the insurance provider for specific coverage related to MCTD.

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.
