Chargers' Jim Harbaugh had cardiac ablation, hip surgery

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he's in top shape after undergoing cardiac ablation and hip replacement surgery in the offseason.
"The doctors can't find anything wrong with me. A-grade," Harbaugh said Tuesday.
Harbaugh, 61, said in mid-October that he previously underwent ablations in 1999 and 2012. The procedure treats irregular heart rhythms.
The heart issues attracted major attention during the Chargers' 23-16 victory against the host Denver Broncos on Oct. 13.
Just before kickoff, Harbaugh said he experienced an "atrial flutter," also known as arrhythmia, and was examined in the medical tent on the sideline.
Then right after the game began, Harbaugh walked off the field with team trainers. Once the situation was under control, Harbaugh returned to the sideline midway through the first quarter.
This was the second time Harbaugh experienced arrhythmia during a game. The other came on Nov. 19, 2012, when he was coach of the San Francisco 49ers during a 32-7 victory over the Chicago Bears on "Monday Night Football."
Harbaugh met with his cardiologist on Oct. 14 and was placed on medication and wore a heart monitor for the following two weeks.
The Chargers went 11-6 during Harbaugh's first season as coach before getting routed 32-12 by the host Houston Texans in an AFC wild-card game.
