Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome on - Ask a Doctor - service!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is difficult to predict any risks on such conditions as there is not a full picture of any structural heart disease.

In fact it may signify nothing when the cardiac structures appear not completely mature and imagine tests lack the sufficient ability to delineate a complete view of heart peculiarities.

It is necessary to wait a couple of weeks to repeat the ultrasound test and hope to provide additional information.

Hope to have been helpful to you!

In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.

Kind regards,
