1. A method of shutting-off energy delivery of an ablation procedure, comprising the steps of:
providing cardiac electrical timing information for shutting-off energy supply to an ablation system, wherein said cardiac electrical timing information is based on timing relationship between atrial and ventricular signals,
utilizing analysis by a software adapted and configured for detecting an event indicative of an adverse condition based on said cardiac electrical timing information, and
automatically shutting-off of energy supply to an ablation system utilizing a switching device based on said cardiac electrical timing information which is based on timing relationship between atrial and ventricular signals.
