The invention relates to a prosthetic mitral heart valve consisting of a support housing (IQ) comprising a base ring (15) supporting two posts which point essentially in the direction of the ring axis and which are connected by arc-shaped walls (13, 14), these walls being used to fix two flexible leaflets. The free ends of said posts form an inner support for the leaflet The base ring, as seen from above, has a closed, noncircular shape with a common longitudinal axis but two different-sized semi lateral axes. The posts lie on the longitudinal axis and form the transitional point from one half of the shape to the other. The invention provides that in order to avoid undercuts which can contribute to turbulence, the plane in which the connection line (17) between the tips of the posts (18, 19) and the common longitudinal axis of the post base ring shape lie is tilted at an angle (alpha) of 10° to 20°, preferably 15°, in relation to the plane that leads through the common longitudinal axis and lies vertically in relation to the surface (21) formed by the base ring; and the wall with the greater curvature supports the leaflet with the smaller surface (the mural leaflet), positioned at a greater angle to the surface formed by the base ring compared to the wall with the greater curvature.
