The article discusses the evolution of concepts in the asthma management landscape in the U.S. being considered as a common condition that imposes substantial patient, health care system, and socioeconomic burdens. Topics include the understanding of asthma etiology, the progress in the diagnosis of asthma, and the management of asthma in primary care. The role of primary care providers (PCPs) in teaching patients for effective self-management is also tackled.
