    Resumen Este art铆culo presenta el dise帽o e implementaci贸n de un emulador de la funci贸n hidr谩ulica del sistema cardiovascular. El emulador consiste en 6 tanques interconectados (representando las aur铆culas, ventr铆culos, el cuerpo y pulmones), 4 v谩lvulas (representando la mitral, tric煤spide, aortica y pulmonar) y 2 bombas para la transportaci贸n del l铆quido (sangre real) del cuerpo hacia el coraz贸n y del coraz贸n hacia los pulmones. Finalmente, se implementa un sistema electr贸nico basado en un microcontrolador para sintonizar la conducci贸n de las bombas y las v谩lvulas. La principal contribuci贸n de este desarrollo es la fabricaci贸n de un equipo de demostraci贸n y la posibilidad de aplicaci贸n multiprop贸sito en diferentes 谩reas como exposiciones para ni帽os, explicaci贸n del funcionamiento del coraz贸n y enfermedades, capacitaci贸n de asistentes m茅dicos y estudiantes, capacitaci贸n en mecatr贸nica, practica de ingenier铆a de control, etc. Palabras Clave: Electrocardiograma, sistema circulatorio, v谩lvulas coraz贸n. Abstract In this paper the design and implementation of an emulator of the hydraulic function of the cardiovascular system is presented. The emulator consists of six interconnected tanks (representing the auricles, ventricles, the body and lungs), four valves (representing the mitral, tricuspid, aortic and pulmonary valves) and two pumps for transportation of the liquid (representing blood) from body towards the heart and from heart towards the lungs. Finally, a microcontroller-based electronic system is implemented to synchronize the driving pumps and the valves. The main contribution of this development is the manufacture of demonstration equipment and the possibility for multi-purpose applications in different areas such as exhibitions for children, explanation of heart functioning and diseases, training of medical assistants and students, mechatronics training, control engineering practice and so on.
