The heart is an organ like any other, so it is conformed of cells that need oxygen to live. If the cardiac cells receive no oxygen from the blood then they will die, causing a heart attack.

The vessels that provide this supply are the coronary arteries Heart is the pumping organ of human body, it needs its own blood supply cause it is resposible for pumping the blood through out the body, it receives oxiginated blood from lungs via pulmonary vein( the only vein in the human body which carries pure blood), and then pump it through Aorta(Artery) to the body.
