I can't read the article, but it's my impression that high sodium isn't as much a threat to general health as increased BP is. I'd like to know what sodium reduction did for BP, and how much the two groups then differed. If the goal for patients is not reduction of BP, then the presumption of this study is that sodium is affecting the heart and vessels in more complex ways than pressure alone, and such patients might suffer in a diverse multitude of complex ways that are much harder to attribute directly to the level of sodium. The authors' conclusion seems to be only that the correlation between sodium intake and death in heart patients is not simple and linear.
