Is there any connection between amnesia and heat stroke?

I know that strokes can cause amnesia, but i'm wondering if heat stroke could cause amnesia?Is there any connection between amnesia and heat stroke?
Potentially. Severe heatstroke can cause unconsciousness and brain damage, but this is not something usually associated with the condition. It is common for anyone who has experienced major injury and 'blacked out' to have no memory of the event, and be confused for some time afterwards.
