I have never heard that excess salt causes heart disease.

I have heard many, many times that excess salt can cause high blood pressure. It can. That is basic science. Ion transport/membrane science, etc.

High blood pressure is the leading cause of heart disease. And no, it's not "basic science" that salt causes chronic hypertension. If you read the data, you'll see that it affects individuals differently. It actually decreases blood pressure in just as many people that it increases.
