2.13.2 Post AES Stimulation 
The post AES stimulation (pacing) can be programmed for all 
atrial-controlled modes (i.e., DDD(R), DDT/A(R), AAI(R) and 
AAT(R).   If an AES is detected, the pacemaker starts a "Post 
AES Interval". The duration of the post-AES interval is equal to 
the coupling interval of the Post-AES plus the "decrement step 
size" (programmable 5 ... (5) ... 40 ppm).  After the post AES 
interval has expired, pacing occurs in the atrium. In each 
subsequent cycle, the pacing rate is reduced by the value of the 
"decrement step size" per stimulus until the basic rate (or sensor 
rate) is again reached, or until the intrinsic cardiac rhythm takes 
precedence again.  The post AES stimulation is then concluded, 
and it is repeated after each AES. The post-AES interval is never 
shorter than the Upper Tracking Rate Interval (UTR). 
 
Additionally, if the post-AES coupling interval is longer than the 
current sensor rate, pacing occurs at the sensor rate.

OTE
When “preventative overdrive pacing” is activated, post-AES 
pacing is not automatically activated.  Both parameters can 
be programmed independently of one another.

AUTION
 
Post AES - Before activating post-AES, check whether the 
selected program can cause Pacemaker Mediated 
Tachycardia (PMT) and whether post-AES pacing results. 
 
2.14  Parameters for Rate-Adaptive Pacing 
2.14.1 Rate-Adaptation 
The Stratos CRT-Ps are equipped with accelerometers that 
located within the CRT-P.  This sensor produces an electric 
signal during physical activity of the patient.  If a rate adaptive 
mode is programmed, then the sensor signal controls the 
stimulation rate.  Sensing and inhibition remain in effect during 
sensor controlled operation.  In the case of high pacing rates, 
however, the refractory periods may cover a majority of the lower 
rate interval, resulting in asynchronous operation.
