Individuals with heart disease consume over twice the recommended daily sodium intake, raising their risk of complications. Excess sodium can raise blood pressure and worsen heart conditions. Guidelines recommend limiting sodium intake for heart disease patients.
Individuals with heart disease stand to gain the most from a low-sodium diet but, on average, consume over twice the recommended daily sodium intake, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session. Sodium is an essential nutrient, but consuming too much can raise blood pressure , which damages blood vessels and forces the heart to work harder. Excess sodium can also cause the body to retain fluid, exacerbating conditions like heart failure.
The current U.S. Dietary Guidelines put out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends most adults limit their sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg/day, which is equivalent to about 1 teaspoon of table salt. For individuals with cardiovascular diseases, the limit is even lower at 1,500 mg/day, according to guideline recommendations from the ACC and the American Heart Associatio
