cardiac auscultation foci ("focus")

Explanation:
In medicine, we talk about "un foyer infectieux" to say where the infection is located ("foyer infectieux pulmonaire ou urinaire...", "éradiquer les foyers infectieux latents", "fièvre sans foyer infectieux retrouvé"...). It may be used in cancerology to say where the disease started, or where it has spread. "Foyer" is also the place where you put your stethoscope to listen to heart beats ("foyers auscultatoires").
