If your daughter is otherwise normal, with good growth, no delay in milestones, no evident abnormalities then this just some harmless pigmentation. Usually newborns are screened for heart disease so if your baby had one you would have been informed.
However, if you are still concerned get an extensive checkup done by the pediatrician.
