1. A device for locating and detecting the cardiac regions responsible for irregular cardiac arrhythmias, the device comprising:
a three-dimensional reconstruction element that generates a three-dimensional reconstruction of a surface of a patient's torso through processing a plurality of images, including a number of images of the surface of the patient's torso obtained by at least one camera, wherein at least one camera is a visible imaging camera, wherein the number of images is at least two and wherein images are taken from different positions;
image analysis element for locating a plurality of surface electrodes, wherein the plurality of surface electrodes are positioned on the patient's torso and whereby the image analysis element detects the position of the electrodes with respect to the surface of the patient's torso, wherein the image analysis element detects the position of the electrodes by processing the images with which the three-dimensional reconstruction of the patient's torso is performed;
data processing elements that correlate a number of readings of the surface electrodes to the three-dimensional reconstruction and the position of the surface electrodes to generate a surface electrocardiographic map, and
a display for receiving and displaying the surface electrocardiographic map.
