Consumption of Salt Associated With Heart Disease

WASHINGTON (Dispatches) -- A recent research shows a link between a lower frequency of dietary salt and a reduced risk of heart disease, heart failure and ischemic heart disease.
Study results by the American College of Cardiology indicate that individuals who add on a little additional salt to their foods , very often had a much lower risk of heart disease events, regardless of lifestyle factors and pre-existing disease. Also , they found that when patients combine a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension ( DASH diet) with a low frequency of adding salt, they had the lowest heart disease risk.
During the study, the researchers evaluated whether the frequency of adding salt to foods was linked with incident heart disease risk in 176,570 participants from the UK Biobank. They also examined the association between the frequency of adding salt to foods and the DASH diet as it relates to heart disease risk.
Data on heart disease events was collected through medical history and data on hospital admissions, questionnaire and death register data.
