Pacemaker interrogation

Does a pacemaker interrogation show a flutter? My resting heart rate is normally 60; in the last few days it's been jumping up to around 80 but with a regular rhythm. I had a flutter one time before while still in hospital when the pacemaker was inserted and I'm due for an interrogation in three weeks.

It looks like the paragraph “Follow up care” talks about interrogation of the PM.

I think it probably does, I have a friend who has had a PM for a while

and he said when he goes for a PM check they can tell him the date

and time his PM kicked in.

That makes me think they can probably detect and store that kind

of information.
