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.
