Why is the heart considered to be an enlarged blood vessel?
The heart can be considered to be an enlarged blood vessel on the basis of evolutionary history. Blood vessels evolve earlier (which is to say, in more primitive organisms) than hearts, and they have all the features of hearts. They include such things as muscle, and valves, to help keep the blood moving in the right direction. Hearts just do that more vigorously.

If you rupture a blood vessel can you die?
Yes. It depends on the blood vessel and where it is, but yes a rupture to a blood vessel can kill you. A blood vessel is more likely to "pop" or rupture if it has an aneurysm, which is a local weakness where the blood vessel has stretched from the pressure of the blood. This is more likely to result in death if it is in a large blood vessel or in a critical location, such as the aorta or a vessel in the brain.
