Is the 2 g Na diet prescription too strict? Discuss the reasoning behind your answer
If edema and HTN are not problems, a 2 g Na restriction is probably more restrictive than necessary but it is in line with the usual recommendations. Immediately post-MI and until the course of recovery, I could go along with a 2 g. The actual Na recommendation is 2.4 g so this is not far off from the level recommended for everyone.
