Accepted Answer

Yes: Think of a heart attack.  The blood clot cuts off the flow of blood to the heart and it can die.

Question 2

can vascular conditions cause spleen damage?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends what you mean by vascular conditions.  Vascular conditions (aneurysms, dissections, strictures, etc) are very unlikely to cause spleen damage.
On the other hand, certain blood diseases can clog the "filtering" capacity of the spleen and damage it.

Yes: The heart and lungs interact closely, and dynamics and problems with one can affect the other.

A disease: They occasionally can be a symptom of something else but most often they are a disease state themselves.

Question 8

Yes-but not possible: It is nearly impossible to completely remove salt from the diet. You can have a "low salt" diet, where it is <1 gram per day -- or maybe less if you are amazingly disciplined.
