HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in such case prognosis is entirely depends upon the coma score and that can only be judge with clinical examination and over all clinical condition here no clinical findings are given so it is bit difficult to say anything comatose condition is very uncertain patient may remains in vegetative state for long time over all what type of and which part of brain is damaged is matter of concern, I would suggest to discuss this with treating medical team or neurologist hope this information helps.
