A system and method is provided for non-invasively determining electrical activity of the heart of a human being. Electrical potentials are measured on the body surface via an electrode vest (12), and a body surface potential map is generated. A matrix of transformation based on the geometry of the torso, the heart, locations of electrodes, and position of the heart within the torso is also determined with the aid of a processor (24), and a geometry determining device (26). The electrical potential distribution over the epicardial surface of the heart is then determined based ona regularized matrix of transformation, and the body surface potential map. Using the epicardial potential distributions, epicardial electrogram, isochronal are also reconstructed, and displayed via an output device (28).
