The heart is an organ. There are 3 types of muscle. Skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle once injured does not regenerate, unlike the other two types of muscle.

This helps to identify injuries to the heart even if they were in the past, as the electrical impulses are forced to divert around the dead cardiac muscle. Myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, and myocardial injury are commonly referred to as ‘heart attacks.’

People can experience such injuries without actually being aware of it but ordinarily an EKG can reveal just where damage has been done.

And the point I was trying to make is that the Kidneys and gallbladder are not generally considered a muscle-whereas the heart is — ie cardiac MUSCLE.
