A 13-year-old girl is in critical condition at Texas Children’s Hospital a week after testing positive for COVID-19 and going into cardiac arrest.
Alina Valenzuela, 13, has a previously undetected condition called myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart muscle, according to a GoFundMe page set up by a family member, Miriam Tervino. COVID-19 complications affected Alina’s heart and caused the cardiac arrest on Jan. 11, Trevino wrote on the fundraising page. She was placed on an ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine before being transferred from a hospital near her home in Pearsall to Texas Children’s on Jan. 15.

Her older sister, Leticia, said Valenzuela’s health plummeted on Jan. 10.
“She started having breathing problems, and she came to my room,” Leticia said. “She told me (her) chest hurt.”
The young teenager was taken to a nearby ER where doctor’s ran tests and diagnosed Valenzuela positive for COVID-19. Her family says the 13-year-old was active, healthy and suffered from no underlying health conditions, leaving them shocked at their current situation.
Since her arrival in Houston, Alina has undergone two heart surgeries with Monday being the most recent. (KSAT)
