    Abstract Background Structural and electrophysiological remodeling characterize heart failure (HF) enhancing arrhythmias. PKD1 (protein kinase D1) is upregulated in HF and mediates pathological hypertrophic signaling, but its role in K+ channel remodeling and arrhythmogenesis in HF is unknown. Methods and Results We performed echocardiography, electrophysiology, and expression analysis in wild-type and PKD1 cardiomyocyte-specific knockout (cKO) mice following transverse aortic constriction (TAC). PKD1-cKO mice exhibited significantly less cardiac hypertrophy post-TAC and were protected from early decline in cardiac contractile function (3 weeks post-TAC) but not the progression to HF at 7 weeks post-TAC. Wild-type mice exhibited ventricular action potential duration prolongation at 8 weeks post-TAC, which was attenuated in PKD1-cKO, consistent with larger K+ currents via the transient outward current, sustained current, inward rectifier K+ current, and rapid delayed rectifier K+ current and increased expression of corresponding K+ channels. Conversely, reduction of slowly inactivating K+ current was independent of PKD1 in HF. Acute PKD inhibition slightly increased transient outward current in TAC and sham wild-type myocytes but did not alter other K+ currents. Sham PKD1-cKO versus wild-type also exhibited larger transient outward current and faster early action potential repolarization. Tachypacing-induced action potential duration alternans in TAC animals was increased and independent of PKD1, but diastolic arrhythmogenic activities were reduced in PKD1-cKO. Conclusions Our data indicate an important role for PKD1 in the HF-related hypertrophic response and K+ channel downregulation. Therefore, PKD1 inhibition may represent a therapeutic strategy to reduce hypertrophy and arrhythmias; however, PKD1 inhibition may not prevent disease progression and reduced contractility in HF.

    Abstract Background: The optimal enoxaparin dosing strategy to achieve venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis in trauma patients remains unclear. Current dosing guidelines often include weight, age, and renal function but still fail to achieve appropriate prophylactic anti-Xa levels in many patients. We hypothesized that additional patient factors influence anti-Xa response to enoxaparin in trauma patients.
    Methods: This is a retrospective review of patients admitted to a Level 1 trauma center for ≥4 days from July 2015 to September 2020, who received enoxaparin VTE prophylaxis per protocol (50-59 kg, 30 mg/dose; 60-99 kg, 40 mg/dose; ≥100 kg, 50 mg/dose; all doses every 12 hours) and had an appropriately timed peak anti-Xa level. Multivariate regression was performed to identify independent predictors of prophylactic anti-Xa levels (0.2-0.4 IU/mL) upon first measurement.
    Results: The cohort (N = 1,435) was 76.4% male, with a mean ± SD age of 49.9 ± 20.0 years and a mean ± SD weight of 82.5 ± 20.2 kg (males, 85.2 kg; females, 73.7 kg; p <0.001). Overall, 68.6% of patients (n = 984) had a prophylactic anti-Xa level on first assessment (69.6% of males, 65.1% of females). Males were more likely to have a subprophylactic level than females (22.1% vs. 8.0%, p <0.001), whereas females were more likely to have supraprophylactic levels than males (26.9% vs. 8.3%, p < 0.001). When controlling for creatinine clearance, anti-Xa level was independently associated with dose-to-weight ratio (odds ratio, 0.191 for 0.5 mg/kg; p < 0.001; confidence interval, 0.151-0.230) and female sex (odds ratio, 0.060; p < 0.001; confidence interval, 0.047-0.072). Weight and age were not significant when controlling for the other factors.
    Conclusion: Male patients have a decreased anti-Xa response to enoxaparin when compared with female patients, leading to a greater incidence of subprophylactic anti-Xa levels in male patients at all dose-to-weight ratios. To improve the accuracy of VTE chemoprophylaxis, sex should be considered as a variable in enoxaparin dosing models.
