Capillary Diffusion Distances - Their Importance for Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle Performance

O Hudlicka, S Egginton and MD Brown

Intercapillary distances are considered an important indicator of oxygen delivery to tissue. In this article, various indices of capillary supply to cardiac and skeletal muscle are related to the performance of the same organ. It becomes apparent that there are several situations in which maximal muscle performance is not improved, although intercapillary distances are shortened, implying greater potential oxygen delivery. On the other hand, there are also cases where performance is improved without any change in capillary supply.
