The invention relates to a mechanical prosthetic heart valve, comprising an annular support (12) on which at least two movable flaps (18, 20, 22) and several articular extensions (32, 34, 36) are arranged in an articulated manner. Each flap comprises a central part (38) framed by two lateral wings that each cooperate with an articular extension by way of an end portion that has an articulation facet. The two articulation facets of each flap together make up a surface area of less than 5% of the total outer surface area of the flap.
