Not really, no. Depending on your pacemaker model and functionality, it can record different things, but generally the pacemaker interrogation can only reveal what your rhythm has been and if there have been any arrhythmias, it is unlikely to find evidence of ischemia (which is poor delivery of blood and thus oxygen to the heart muscle, the cause of angina). If you have been having angina which is increasing in frequency or severity or is new onset, then you should see your cardiologist, it may be warranted for you to have a stress test or other type of evaluation to make sure that everything is OK with your coronary arteries.

You mean a check to see how the pacemaker is functioning? Probably not. It's best for you to make an appointment to see your cardiologist or primary care provider to discuss any angina symptoms.
