normal non-split heart sounds
"bien frappés" is clearly not a typical attribute of "les bruits du coeur". I would have doubts whether the writer was a native speaker of French. So I can only think: what would make one describe heart sounds as being "bien frappés"? May be the fact that they (the two typically present heart sounds) are not split (which they are in some conditions); but it might also only mean that the heart sounds are well audible (they're always in children, but perhaps a bit less in very obese adults?). So that's just my best guess, based on medical experience; interpretation may be different if the text concerns a patient with a cardial condition or a small child.
By the way, souffles are murmurs.

an alternative could be \"accentuated\", but that\'s usually said about one of the two typical heart sounds, not both of them.

STRONG HEARTBEAT
Note that "pouls bien frappé" is a standard expression, meaning:
<<strong pulse, a forcible pulse of high amplitude; see also high-tension p. Called also bounding, full, or tense p. and pulsus fortis, magnus, or plenus>>
[http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands.jspzQzp...]
The French appears to be shorthand for "a strong heartbeat can be heard ..."
