What is vasovagal syncope?

Vasovagal syncope is nothing more than a fainting spell caused by an exaggerated reaction of the vagus nerve, the longest in the body, responsible for regulating functions such as heart rate and breathing.

Generally, fainting caused by vasovagal syncope is related to triggers such as emotional stress and physical exertion.

Out of the 2025 season, Oscar's last match was on July 19, against Corinthians, when he suffered a fracture. The athlete played only 21 games since returning to the tricolor club, with two goals and five assists.
