Another very good study I read quite a few years ago (haven't bothered to post a link) showed that roughly 10% of the general population with high blood pressure will respond favourably to sodium restriction. In other words, 90% are better off focusing their attention elsewhere (e.g. eating less processed food, getting more exercise, losing weight, decreasing stress, and so forth). But for that 10%, quite important to restrict sodium.
Maybe the other 90% need MORE salt... I was talking to an aunt Saturday that always had low blood pressure all of her life until she adopted a low sodium diet... Now she's on blood pressure medicine...

Compared with baseline sodium excretion of 4 to 5.99 g per day, sodium excretion of greater than 7 g per day was associated with an increased risk of all CV events, and a sodium excretion of less than 3 g per day was associated with increased risk of CV mortality and hospitalization for CHF.
