What Causes Cardiomyopathy?

hi doctor. my uncle is about 60 years old and experienced cardiac arrest several days ago and still in ICU now. after investigation, he was diagnosed as cardiomyopathy and lost brain function in motor, visual and auditory area etc. any suggestions/comment you would give? I read a journal paper from Dr Barry J. Maron (Successful Therapeutic Hypothermia in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy), do you think it s worth to try?
