I think that what you mean to ask is, what would happen if all your muscles were cardiac muscles. Obviously, if your whole body was made of cardiac muscle it would die, since it would have no lungs, no brain, no digestive system, no skin, etc. Muscles do not a body make. But if all your muscles were cardiac muscles, chances are that would be workable. I know of no reason why cardiac muscle could not perform other muscular functions than pumping blood.
