Cardiac muscle fibers look a lot like both smooth and striated muscle fiber because it is uninucleated & has dark as well as light bands called as striations. Cardiac muscle is kept under involuntary control so it tends to contract rhythmically under autonomous nervous control rather than conscious control.
Hope it helps you!

Cardiac muscle contains a great many mitochondria, which produce ATP for energy. This helps the heart resist fatigue. Contractions of cardiac muscle are involuntary, like those of smooth muscle. Cardiac muscle, like skeletal muscle, is arranged in bundles, so it appears striated, or striped.
