And the fact that heart attacks are more commonly caused by low blood pressure than by high blood pressure suggests there would be fewer heart attacks if we ate more salt, doesn't it?

This is absolutely untrue. It is also just plain dumb and stupid.
I'd still like you to answer my earlier questions. Please provide sources for you claims that salt intake is 'controversial' among nutrition scientists and medical evidence that says we should consume more salt.

If I remember correctly, around 41% of heart attack patients have low blood pressure. That's way more common than high blood pressure, which is, if I remember correctly, around 5%. That's also more common than high cholesterol, as around 17% of heart attack patients have high cholesterol.
Just Google "are we eating too much salt", you will find sources describing evidence from both sides of the debate. It is a controversial issue.
