The study shows that exposure of rats to chronic hypoxia causes considerable regional modifications in microvascular–interstitial fluid dynamics, capillary–tissue mechanical interaction, lung morphology and geometry of the vascular tree. A remarkable heterogeneity in the lung response was observed and the extremes of lung adaptation, namely “well-adapted” and “maladapted” regions, coexisted within the same animal
