Brief Answer:
Yes a possibility is there.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Since you are hypertensive so low ejection fraction is first of all attributed to hypertensive heart disease.
However we can't suspend the possibility of Toxin exposure that could have resulted in Toxic Cardiomyopathy.
I would like to know that which chemical exposure you have been suspecting?
