Pacemaker mediated angina

This purports to be the first published description which is surprising. I think I've seen this.

Amusing anecdote from the rural northern parts of Norway, heard this while stationed in Vesteraalen as an intern. Some 30 years ago the roads were really, really bad, and there was once a patient there that had an older type pacemaker, with an accelerometer for adjusting the rate with physical excertion. Anyways, whenever he drove his car along the heavily potholed roads his pacemaker would drive his heart rate way up and angina would ensue...
