Maybe: It is generally recommended for heart failure patients to consume less than 2000 mg of sodium (salt) per day. This helps prevent fluid accumulation in the lungs, legs and abdomen which can lead to hospitalizations for congestive heart failure. The icd was probably implanted for severe heart failure in your relative.
