Inside your lungs are millions of
very small blood vessels called capillaries. Each one is about as
wide as a hair, large enough for blood cells to barely pass through.
The inside of the vessel is lined with endothelial cells. The
outside is lined with smooth muscle cells. The endothelial cells
keep blood from leaking out. The smooth muscle cells allow the
capillary to get a bit narrower or wider, depending on how much
blood is surging back and forth between the heart and lungs.

| With PPH, for unknown reasons, some of the
endothelial cell lining of the lung's capillaries get peeled off. As
blood leaks into the smooth muscle cells they continuously constrict
as a reaction. Multiplied thousands of times this chokes off the
flow of blood between the heart and lungs, causing dizziness
exhaustion, fainting and finally heart failure.
