Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh will where a heart monitor for the next two weeks and has been prescribed blood thinners to control his heartbeat after consultation with a cardiologist on Monday, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

Harbaugh briefly left the sideline during his team's win Sunday against the Denver Broncos after experiencing a heart rhythm abnormality. The first-year Chargers coach said Sunday he was dealing with an atrial flutter, which he had confirmed by the cardiologist on Monday.

According to Harbaugh, he will wear the heart monitor for two weeks before he is reevaluated. The coach having an ablation procedure also remains an option. An ablation procedure, per the Mayo Clinic, is a treatment for irregular heart rhythms that uses catheters and heat or cold energy to create small scars in the heart, with the scars blocking faulty signals that cause irregular heartbeats.

During Harbaugh's trip to the blue medical tent and then the locker room on Sunday, defensive coordinator Jesse Minter was deemed the interim head coach.

"That was just a battlefield decision right there," Harbaugh said, via Alex Insdorf. "[Offensive coordinator Greg Roman] is in the press box, Jesse is on the field."
