HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your feeling but that is not the case as you are thinking because the oxygen reach to the brain with the helps of blood, in case of heart attack the pumping action of heart reduces greatly and that cut down the blood supply and consequently oxygen supply, if the heart pump well then this condition can be avoided, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
I find this answer helpful
