Melanie Oudin home recuperating after procedure for heart condition

American tennis pro Melanie Oudin is home after a procedure for a heart condition.

The 2009 U.S. Open quarterfinalist wrote on Twitter on Thursday that her trip to an Atlanta hospital ''went extremely well.''

The 23-year-old Oudin said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday that she had been experiencing occasional ''episodes'' of an accelerated heartbeat, usually during -- or right after -- matches. She said she was diagnosed last month with a form of arrhythmia.

Oudin also said in the interview she needs surgery for what she called ''a growth in my eye.''
