In these instances, the ARP will usually be long enough to
prevent sensing of retrograde P-waves. Programming to an
ARPE other than 0 ms may rarely be required but could provide
additional protection if the ARP is limited or the retrograde
conduction time extended.

2.9.9.2 Termination
PMT
termination can be accomplished by the following
mechanism:
The programmable dynamic AV delay in combination with a fixed
TARP (i.e. modulated PVARP) can act as a ‘passive’ termination
of a PMT. Because a PMT is generally at higher rates, the
AV delay will be relatively short. This causes the PVARP to be
prolonged, which then increases the chance that a retrograde
conducted atrial depolarization falls in the PVARP and thus will be
inhibited, terminating the PMT (see Figure 13
).
