Hi..there is a condition called hypoplastic right heart syndrome where in the right side of the heart will be smaller. One echocardiogram doesn't confirm or refute anything. I think you need to be on regular follow up as suggested by your doctor and then take necessary steps.
I suggest you ask the doctor if she's suspecting the same condition. Then it will be prudent to discuss about this with her.
