You can die. Cardiac, as well as other muscles function off of a sodium potassium pump. Lack of sodium in your body throws this pump out of wack and can cause your heart to fibrillate (quiver) and not pump blood. You most commonly hear of this with people doing stupid stunts involving drinking large amoutns of water. Most everybody in developed countries do not need to add salt to his or her diet, regular food consumption is enough.
