All mammals have a four chambered heart with separate pulmonary and systemic circulation.
Primates, pig, cow, mouse.
If by "structure" you also include size, then chimp, baboon, and pig are in the ballpark.

Pig because we had to cut one open in Science at school - I almost fainted!!
Also I think they can be used in heart transplants - there's a book about it - Pig Heart Boy which is good, but it might be made-up.

I heard a pig heart - There have been people with pig heart valves transplants.

I believe it's the cow heart.
It seems like they have actually successfully transplanted a cow heart (or part of one) into a human.
You might want to doublecheck me on that.

baboon . has already been used as a replacement heart for a person . didn't last long but it worked.
size same shape same ability to pump IE pressure same .
all pretty much the same.

the porcine heart, but i don't know how...i just know that we use the valves from the porcine heart to replace damaged human ones because the porcine heart resembles the human heart so well...
