Firstly, you need to realise that the heart itself is considered a muscle that contracts to pump blood around your body. More specifically, the heart is referred to as a myogenic muscular organ, which pretty much means an organ that is also a muscle.

If you are meaning cardiac muscle as one of the three types of muscle, it is located in the heart, primarily on the myocardium. These cardiac muscles cause the heart to contract (undergo systole) and force blood through the atria and ventricles.
