<b>Purpose:</b> Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is a second messenger for natriuretic peptide (NP) and nitric oxide pathways; its enhancement a target for heart failure and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated whether plasma cGMP was associated with change in left ventricular mass (LVM) among individuals free of CVD and if this differed by sex.<b>Methods and Results:</b> In 611 men and 612 women aged 45-84 years with plasma cGMP measured at baseline and cardiac MRI performed at basel ...[more]
