A friend just phoned me up and said "My adopted son's sister has a smaller than usual sized heart".

This woman is 32, has 3 children, is very thin, and has s smaller than normal heart. She was told to not eat sweets and to keep thin.

There is a language problem here, so that's all the information I have and so far, that's all the information my friend has.

I tried and google "smaller than usual sized hearts", and "I have a small heart", but I only found one article about a man and the doctor responding to his question only said "It's not that abnormal to have a smaller than usual heart".

I also found the following on a medical website:

"The sudden decrease in cardiac size could not be attributed to a decrease in intravascular volume or to changes in positive airway pressure. Following surgical relief of tension pneumopericardium, the cardiac size was restored to baseline dimensions and the hemodynamic effects of tamponade resolved"

Thanks to anyone who can make heads or tails out of this. I did ask if there was any more information than what I gave in this post, but that's all the person knew.

32 year old woman, has 3 kids, has a small heart, told to not eat sweets and to stay thin.

That's ALL I know for now.
