More info needed: If he was in ICU twice, he was receiving a high level of care. A significant percentage of cardiomyopthies get progressively worse, despite receiving the best care. Discuss your concerns with our brother's physician, and then you will have a better understanding of your brother's condition, the treatment he received, and why he didn't respond. I am sorry for your loss.
