The invention concerns an artificial heart capable of being wholly implanted comprising in a single-piece module (2) two independent ventricular chambers (22G, 22D) each provided with two orifices (11G, 11D, 12G, 12D) equipped with a valve for respectively releasing and pumping blood, the volume of each chamber (22G, 22D) being variable by means of a mobile membrane (17, 18) constituting a wall of the chamber (22G, 22D) and hydraulically actuated by a fluid driven by an actuator comprising a motor and a volumetric pump. The ventricular chambers (22G, 22D) are arranged so as to form an upside-down V, between whose branches are arranged said actuators and the space (37) for the actuating fluid. The chambers (22G, 22D) comprise on the outside convex walls (7G, 7D) whereon are arranged the releasing and pumping orifices (11G, 11D, 12G, 12D).
