The artificial heart is designed for intrathoracic implantation, while its operation is effected by means of an extracorporeal control and energy feed system, form by a reduced console and interchangeable energy sectors and pneumatic sectors, also interchangeable, all of this taking up a minimum volume susceptible to being carried by the patient himself. Said heart is destined to a half life use and is based on a tubular-valved system, eliminating the classic heart chambers. The artificial heart utilizes a left sector and a right sector couplable between the left auricle and the aorta and the right auricle and pulmonary artery, respectively, sectors divided into compartments by means of cardiac valvular prostheses for the left sector and for the right sector.
