Traditionally, structural adaptation of the microcirculation to physiological states with increased blood flow has been associated with changes in oxygen transport or metabolism. Recent findings in the literature suggest that long term changes in blood flow per se may influence vessel growth (Hudlicka, 1988). Chronic fluid retention with elevations of cardiac output result in progressive increases of the arterial vascular resistance and hypertension. Vascular wall hypertrophy of the larger arteries and arterioles has been repeatedly demonstrated. More recently, it has been observed that small arterioles of skeletal muscle tissue disappear over time (rarefaction) which may also contribute to the elevations of the total peripheral resistance (Lombard et al, 1989). Clues to these mechanisms may be found in studies related to long term adaptation of large arteries (Langille and O’Donnell, 1986) as well as acute dilation of arterioles in response to increased wall shear stress which has been suggested by other investigators (Davies, 1989).
