DENVER — After briefly leaving in the first quarter of Sunday's win against the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters that he has atrial flutter, a type of arrhythmia that causes the heart to beat at an abnormally high rate, and that a flare-up made him seek medical attention.

Harbaugh went to the locker room, where paramedics treated him. He had an electrocardiogram scan, and eventually, they got his heart back to a normal rhythm.

Harbaugh returned later in the first quarter and coached the remainder of the game. He said he has had a flare-up in a game before.

He said that in 2012, when he was coaching the San Francisco 49ers in a game against the Chicago Bears on «Monday Night Football,» he felt an irregular heartbeat but finished coaching the game and saw doctors afterward.
