PITTSBURGH — In just over a month, a Pennsylvania man went from healthy to hospitalized – and needing a heart transplant.
Matt Shilling was perfectly fine less than two months ago. Then in September, he was having trouble breathing, so he went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a serious heart condition.
Shilling was given an artificial heart to keep his blood pumping, and after a series of tests, doctors said he may need a heart transplant.

However, he first wanted to make the most of life by getting married to his girlfriend, Amy, on Friday at UPMC Presbyterian.
“It just refocused us and made this feel a lot more important as a new start,” Shilling said.
