Excessive salt consumption is bad for you. Even if you want to argue about whether the overdevelopment of heart muscle would still cause cardiac arrest without the plaque buildup, drawing fluids out of the tissue into the blood via osmotic pressure both disrupts the proper operation of said tissue and can result in intracranial bleeding due to high blood pressure.
