Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) causes episodes of a rapid heart rhythm that start and stop suddenly. Palpitations have many causes, so a rhythm diagnosis matters before choosing a rescue treatment.
Use the selected clinic’s confirmed address and contact details. Before travel, name the specific service and ask about age eligibility, visit type and any required test or procedure. The general clinic hours do not establish every service’s schedule. Bring relevant records and confirm the result or follow-up route. People with diagnosed PSVT can discuss a personalized episode and follow-up plan. First-time palpitations, uncertain rhythm or concerning symptoms need assessment rather than an automatic nasal prescription. Certain heart failure, conduction and pre-excitation conditions contraindicate CARDAMYST. Pediatric safety and effectiveness are not established.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) causes episodes of a rapid heart rhythm that start and stop suddenly. Palpitations have many causes, so a rhythm diagnosis matters before choosing a rescue treatment. A visit reviews prior ECGs, symptoms and the plan established by a cardiologist or electrophysiologist.
An ECG or rhythm monitor can help identify the rhythm. CARDAMYST (etripamil) is a nasal calcium-channel blocker FDA-approved to convert acute symptomatic PSVT to normal rhythm in adults. It is not a treatment for every fast heartbeat, atrial fibrillation or undiagnosed palpitations. Long-term prevention and catheter ablation are separate specialist decisions.
People with diagnosed PSVT can discuss a personalized episode and follow-up plan. First-time palpitations, uncertain rhythm or concerning symptoms need assessment rather than an automatic nasal prescription. Certain heart failure, conduction and pre-excitation conditions contraindicate CARDAMYST. Pediatric safety and effectiveness are not established.
Review the confirmed diagnosis, frequency of episodes, prior fainting and medicines. Ask which symptoms mean to seek emergency help immediately and when a prescribed rescue plan applies. A specialist may consider monitoring, preventive therapy or ablation. The cardiologist determines whether electrophysiology care or another treatment is needed.
Bring ECGs, monitor reports, cardiology records and all medicines. Note how long episodes last and what symptoms accompany them. If a rescue medicine is prescribed, learn the device technique from the clinician or pharmacist and keep the current instructions available. Do not try someone else's device.
Call 911 for chest pain, severe breathlessness, fainting or other severe symptoms with a fast heartbeat. Do not wait to see whether a new medicine works. CARDAMYST can cause dizziness and fainting and is used seated under the prescribed plan. The label directs urgent contact or emergency help when symptoms fail to improve within 20 minutes after a second dose.
Report continuing or changing episodes and any side effects to the treating clinician. A response to a medicine does not substitute for a confirmed rhythm diagnosis. Ask when to review the longer-term plan and how to replace a used device if it was prescribed.
Confirm whether the clinic provides initial assessment, ECG or referral and whether it will consider this medicine. Stock, payer authorization and cardiology appointments are separate questions. Arrange cardiology care when needed; a routine clinic visit does not replace emergency rhythm treatment.

Nao Medical Astoria is listed at 37-15 23rd Ave, Astoria, NY 11105. Confirm current hours, the specific service and age eligibility before travel. Call +1-917-310-3371 or use the clinic's established booking route.
Confirm the selected clinic can assess the exact concern today and whether to book or walk in. A visit does not guarantee the named drug or pharmacy supply. PSVT rescue prescribing requires a confirmed rhythm and safety plan; severe chest pain, breathing difficulty or fainting needs emergency help.
Bring a symptom timeline, medicine and allergy list, prior relevant reports, any written test order or required form, and plan details if using insurance. State the deadline for any document. Ask about preparation for the actual ordered test; do not fast or stop medicines without specific instructions.
Yes. The clinician needs evidence that the episodes are PSVT rather than another rhythm problem, using the ECG or rhythm recordings and your history. Bring prior ECGs, monitor reports, cardiology notes and a medicine list. A symptom description or smartwatch alert alone does not establish that Cardamyst is appropriate.
No. Cardamyst contains etripamil, a calcium-channel blocker delivered by nasal spray. It is a different medicine from verapamil; doses and products are not interchangeable. Use only the prescribed product and the clinician's PSVT rescue plan.
Cardamyst (etripamil) is labeled for adults with diagnosed paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, or PSVT. It is not a rescue medicine for atrial fibrillation or any unexplained racing heartbeat. A clinician must confirm the rhythm and assess safety before prescribing it. Severe chest pain, breathing difficulty or fainting needs emergency help.
No. A rescue medicine does not replace emergency care for severe symptoms or cardiology review of recurrent episodes. Your cardiologist should discuss monitoring, preventive treatment and whether catheter ablation is appropriate. Keep an explicit plan for an episode that persists despite the prescribed rescue doses.
Before home use, the clinician should confirm PSVT, review heart and blood-pressure conditions and interacting medicines, teach the exact administration steps and set an emergency plan. Bring prior rhythm records. Confirm how to reach the prescribing team and what to do if the episode persists. A prescription does not establish local pharmacy supply.
PSVT commonly involves an abnormal electrical circuit above the heart’s lower chambers that lets a fast rhythm start and stop suddenly. Triggers such as stress or stimulants can provoke an episode in some people, but they do not establish the rhythm diagnosis. An ECG during symptoms or a rhythm monitor can help identify the mechanism and guide treatment. A racing pulse could have another cause, including atrial fibrillation, and is not a reason to use someone else’s rescue spray. Chest pain, severe breathlessness or fainting with a fast heartbeat needs emergency care.
