HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your father, looking to the history given here I could say that the exact episode of that time was important to be seen clinically, chances of having heart attack is likely and this might not be vasovagal shock, because vasovagal shock recovered soon without any specific treatment, if your father was given CPR then this could be infarction and cardiac event was likely, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
