Heart transplant gives Robbie Bell a new life at MUSC
Robbie Bell underwent a heart transplant on March 18 performed by Dr. Arthur Crumbly at MUSC after his heart function fell to 10 percent with cardio myopathy. The operation used the organ from a healthy athletic young man. Bell's recovery includes daily treadmill work and leg exercises a month later.

Heart Transplant Recipient Seeks Normal Life After Surgery
Robbie Bell, after receiving a heart transplant, endures five weeks of monitoring for rejection and lifelong anti rejection drugs. His wife explains the risk of rejection and the need for regular catheter checks while doctors monitor heart tissue and artery condition. Bell says the heart is not connected to brain nerves and may not trigger symptoms even during a heart attack, but he views his recovery as a rebirth aided by MUSC doctors and praying supporters from Aiken to New Jersey.
