Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is the most prevalent heart valve disorder. Gene variant in the LPA gene, which encodes for apolipoprotein(a), has been associated at the genome-wide level with CAVD. The process whereby Lp(a) promotes the development of CAVD is under intensive investigation and recent data have shed important insights into disease biology.

Objective: Based on the Knowledge-to-Action Cycle, we assessed the self-reported implementation and perception of asthma clinical practice guideline (CPG) recommendations in primary care physicians (PCPs), along with the barriers and facilitators to CPG use in primary care.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study. Using the extended Asthma Physicians' Practice Assessment Questionnaire, PCPs self-reported the following: their knowledge of 15 key asthma CPG recommendations, the perceived usefulness of each of these recommendations, their motivation to apply these recommendations, and their agreement with the content of these recommendations.

Article Synopsis
- Patient decision aids (PDAs) are tools designed to enhance communication between healthcare practitioners and patients, helping individuals with asthma make informed choices about inhaled corticosteroids and other treatment options.
- The development of the PDA involved drafting, iterative testing for acceptability with certified asthma educators (CAEs) and adult patients, and refining it based on feedback until no further suggestions were needed.
- The final product is a 12-page, color-printed booklet that was deemed acceptable and usable by the target audience, indicating its effectiveness in supporting asthma management decisions.
