2. Palpitations or sensation of a racing heartbeat

3. Episodes of tachycardia documented by ECG or cardiac monitoring

4. Heart rate typically greater than 100 beats per minute

6. Absence of underlying structural heart disease or other identifiable causes for tachycardia

7. Exclusion of ventricular tachycardia or other arrhythmias as the primary diagnosis
