    The document lists common differential diagnoses that should be considered for neurocardiogenic syncope, including various arrhythmias, structural cardiac issues, medications that could cause syncope, neurological conditions, psychiatric disorders, and metabolic derangements such as hypoxia and hypoglycemia. It provides examples of specific channelopathies, arrhythmias, heart defects, medications, seizures, vertigo, and psychiatric conditions that require differentiation from neurocardiogenic syncope.

     Tachyarrhythmias: supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia
     Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
    2- Cardiac: structural
     Cardiomyopathy: hypertrophic/dilated
     Coronary artery anomalies
     Tumor
     Left ventricular outflow obstruction
     Primary pulmonary arterial hypertension
     Eisenmenger syndrome
     Mitral valve prolapse
     Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
    3- Medications
     Recreational (illegal)
     Antiarrhythmic
     Diuretics
     Vasodilators
     Producing QT prolongation
    4- Neurologic
