Gap Junctions
Yes, they are. While skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles. Anatomically, the muscle fibers are typically branched like a tree branch. In addition, cardiac muscle fibers connect to other cardiac muscle fibers through intercalcated discs and form the appearance of a syncytium (continuous cellular material). These intercalcated discs, which appear as irregularly-spaced dark bands between myocytes (muscle cells), are a unique feature of cardiac muscle .
Association fibers connect different portions of cerebral hemisphere allowing cerebral cortex to function as a integrated whole whereas projection fibers connect cerebral hemispheres to other portions of brain n spinal cord
Projection fibers are long nerve fibers that connect the cerebral cortex to lower regions of the brain, such as the cerebellum. They are responsible for transmitting information between these two brain regions.
During this period, cardiac muscle fibers are in a resting state called diastole. They remain relaxed and do not contract, allowing the heart chambers to fill with blood. This phase is vital for the heart to rest and prepare for the next contraction during systole.
Purkinje cells are specialized cardiac cells, whose purpose it is to spread the electrical signal from the atrioventricular (AV) node down through the right and left ventricles.
Your cardiac muscle is your heart and this is a muscle and it holds itself together with its fibers. Hope that answers it for you :)

Cardiac impulses are carried to the myocardium via specialized muscle cells called Purkinje fibers. These fibers are part of the cardiac conduction system and help to transmit electrical signals rapidly and efficiently throughout the heart muscle.
