hi
with all your description looks like your father has a cardiomyopathy, most relatively infective
this problem can be dueto sepsis as the treatment what he is recieving indicates that he is in sepsis due to resistant organisms.
this echo findings are no doubt showing severe cardiac problems , but has been recieving medications for that too.
this is a serious , high risk condition landing towards septic encephalopathy also(confused states)
once the infection reduces, & without signs of multi organ failure then the prognosis can be good, with continuous cardiac medications.
all the best
