@XR98 You are right that the aorta is the main artery that comes from the heart. However, I don't think a disease of the aorta is considered a heart disease. I may be wrong, but it would be good if there is some source that says this. Lights and freedom (talk) 17:57, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hii @Lights and freedom, I just reviewed my biology books. Since the aorta starts from the heart and ends in the pelvis, it would be incorrect to constrain it to being a heart disease only, as there are cardiovascular diseases related to the aorta.
