🏥 Oscar of São Paulo discharged after five days in hospital | OneFootball

After five days in the hospital, midfielder Oscar was discharged this Sunday (16) from the Israelita Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo.

The player had been admitted last Tuesday, after presenting cardiac alterations and fainting during routine exams carried out at the Barra Funda Training Center.

The athlete was even in the ICU, where he underwent a diagnostic catheterization, MRI, and a battery of tests to investigate the cause of the fainting.

The evaluations confirmed that he suffered a vasovagal syncope, an episode characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure and heart rate, resulting in a temporary loss of consciousness.

To confirm the diagnosis, Oscar underwent the tilt-test, which assesses the regulation of blood pressure and pulse at different inclinations of the examination table.

The result indicated difficulty in physiological adaptation, which explains the dizziness and fainting that occurred during the procedure at the training center.

At 34 years old, Oscar is considering the possibility of retirement with his family, which is currently considered the most likely scenario, according to information from the São Paulo press.
