Does too much salt actually cause heart disease or is it just correlation without a causal effect?

Salt can lead to increased blood pressure and hardening of the arteries. (Amongst other issues)

If you suffer from low blood pressure, this can be a positive outcome.

If your blood pressure is already high, this adds to the strain on your heart.

  How does salt increase blood pressure? Simple as Stanley would say. To much salt intake makes our body's retain water. If we eat too much, this extra water stored in our body raises our blood pressure. To much salt intake reduces the ability of our kidney's to get rid of excess water. 

Your question makes absolutely no sense.  You should study on how to articulate a sentence.

Define "too much salt".

The claims that we get too much salt in processed food are correct. The claims that it causes high blood pressure are NOT.

What the medical profession refuses to recognize is that the body was designed to maintain itself and that it gives signs ("symptoms") when it is lacking in one of the primary nutrients it needs to function properly.

The pharmaceutical companies have labeled these symptoms "disease" so they can manufacture their profitable drugs that carry "side effects" which are more dangerous than the problems they're prescribed for.

Yes, it's true that we get too much salt in processed foods. But because there are no storage areas to save nutrients for future use, the body takes what it needs and discard the rest. Most of the excess salt is lost through the urine.

If it holds onto salt it's because it needs to. And the reason it needs to hold onto salt is that the person doesn't drink enough water, and the salt is needed to retain water to prevent cell damage from chronic dehydration.

The medical profession claims that too much water holds too much salt in the vessels which pushes against the sides with too much pressure - hence "high blood pressure".

The truth is, this is the opposite of what's going on.

Based on the laws of physics, if the cause of a problem is removed, the problem should no longer exist. When doctors diagnose someone with high blood pressure, they often advise them to cut back on salt (which has become the "default" cause of high blood pressure). They then prescribe medication - usually for the life of the patient.

Going back to the laws of physics, if the "cause" (salt) is eliminated, the body should correct the problem on its own - there should be no need for medications.

By reducing salt intake and not correcting the *actual problem* (dehydration), the body is in a constant struggle to protect itself, which means it will continue to hold onto salt - which "justifies" the "need for medication".

If instead, the person would correct their water deficiency, the blood pressure would normalize, and whatever blood pressure medication they're taking can be reduced or eliminated altogether - by your doctor, not your own decision to quit.
