General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It is not theoretically possible and heart tissues will not reach brain. He may be having a condition called brain embolism.

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI brain is required for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
