As a cardiac nurse, the sodium solution that is in pre-packaged meats goes against the typical cardiac diet. An already obese person with diagnosis of heart failure that still intakes sodium greater than 2g (2000mg) will have dramatic negative consequences. Fluid gains greater than 3 lbs. in a day or 5 lbs. in a week is directly correlated with how much sodium is in the diet. These patients are typically on diuretic therapy, but again, the medication effectiveness is also negatively affected by high levels of sodium. The risks of fluid overload with the already decreased function of the heart can result in eventual death! Unfortunately, I have to agree with Ollie here.
