Explanation:
Protection systems of dual-chamber pacemakers against atrial arrhythmia

... the [pacemaker] manufactures developed "fallback systems" allowing programming of physiological pacing in patients with paroxysmal atrial arrhythmias. The aims of these systems are:

1) to detect atrial arrhythmias;
2) to change the pacing mode when the arrhythmias is detected for ventricular pacing not synchronised on the P wave (VVIR or DDIR modes);
3) to revert to the initial mode of pacing when the arrhythmia is over
