Dietary sodium recommendations and possible target organ damage. AHA’s recommended daily sodium limit for the general population is less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day (i.e., less than 6,000 mg of salt per day), whereas clinicians often recommend those with orthostatic disorders to consume greater than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Possible target organ damage of consuming a diet high in sodium is thought to occur through BP independent mechanisms. Created with BioRender.com
