Scatter plot showing eleven colored circles representing different interventions, mapped by acceptability and effectiveness (vertical axis) versus affordability, practicability, scalability (horizontal axis). The background is divided into green (high priority), yellow (medium), and red (low) priority zones. A legend on the right explains the numbers and colors: tools sharing, training, working group, patient support, test automatization in clinical practice, and alignment with laboratories. Each intervention has corresponding subpoints, such as educational materials, web tools, trainings, working group participation, and clinician-lab collaboration. — Prioritization of implementation strategies to increase Lp(a) testing in clinical practice.
