Does your cardiomyopathy seem to have some genetic background? We have no history of this heart disease in my family.
Sorry to hear of your brother's sudden death. This is the type of thing which concerns me. I am a runner (5 - 7 miles 5 times a week). I always run on a treadmill and use a polar monitor. If my heart rythms are funny, I walk. (This does not happen very often)
Keeping my weight down (125 lbs, 5' 7"), watching my diet (Zone diet) and taking lanoxin, coreg, cozzar, a multi-vitamin, 100 mg CoQ10 and an Omega 3 supplement daily. This seems to be the combination that works for me.
Good luck, and keep me posted on any changes.
