I'm not a cardiologist but I've read somewhere that when you have hypertension it usually isn't salt the problem but a lack of potassium (sodium and potassium have to be in balance in your body, can't remember the ratio). The recommended thing was to eat a lot greens (particularly big salads) to have loads of potassium (not recommended in pills, might be dangerous). YMMV, don't sue me etc ;)
