Rep. John Shimkus is recovering from non-surgical heart procedures, after noticing an abnormal heartbeat, a press release from his office said.
The Republican who serves Illinois’ 15th Congressional district underwent an electrophysiology test, followed by an ablation Tuesday at the Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
The congressman will need some time to recover and so will miss House activities for the week, as well as the hearing in the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment and the Economy, which he chairs, the press release said.
Shimkus is expected to return back to work July 15.
