systolic murmur heard at all areas, especially at the aortic area
Explanation:
Sites for Auscultation
The bell of the stethoscope is better for detecting lower frequency sounds whilst the diaphragm is better for higher frequencies. The bell is usually used to listen to the mitral valve and the diaphragm at all other sites. Auscultation is usually performed with the patient sitting up or reclined at about 45°. Where variations are required, they will be described.

The best place to hear the heart valves is not necessarily directly over the anatomical site.
Mitral area:

At the apex beat, as the left ventricle is closest to thoracic cage.

Tricuspic area:

Inferior right sternal margin is the point closest to the valve in which ausculation is possible.

Pulmonary area:

Left second intercostal space close to the sternum is where the infundibulum is closest to the thoracic cage.

Aortic area:

Right second intercostal space close to the sternum is where the ascending aorta is nearest to the thoracic cage

agree  liz askew: in all areas...this was a difficult one :-)

  -> Thanks liz ;)

neutral  MPeralta: You can have a panfocal systolic murmur based on this website so maybe this is what it means? : http://www.spnefro.pt/RPNH/PDFs/n2_2008/00_artigo_11.pdf
22 mins
  -> the article you are referring to is from Spain, maybe the translation to English is not right. I haven't found panfocal in English dictionaries, and anyway, in Spanish panfocal means "en todos los focos/áreas de auscultación", pansystolic is not the same

agree  Roxanna Delgado: De acuerdo. Pansistólico es que se escucha durante toda la sístole; panfocal es que se escucha en todos los focos.

  -> Así es Roxanna, muchas gracias!

neutral  Joseph Tein: GRACIAS Rita, me ayudaste con lo que estaba buscando hoy :) And I would suggest "...heard in ALL POSITIONS..." as a refinement. I find 'positions' much more frequently than 'areas' in my google search, in this context (heart murmurs). Thanks aga

There is a such thing as a panfocal systolic heart murmur so could this be the meaning. See website below.

Here is the excerpt

"Physical examination showed markedly pale skin
and mucosas. Cardiac auscultation showed 120 bpm
and a regular rhythm with a panfocal systolic murmur.
Lung auscultation revealed left basal crepitus.
There was foveal oedema of the lower limbs. The
rest of the examination was normal.'

agree  Margarita Ezquerra (Smart Translators, S.L.): Sí... esta opción me parece perfecta

  -> Gracias Rita. Yo traté

disagree  Rita Tepper: panfocal no es lo mismo que pansistólico, significa que se ausculta en todos los focos

  -> Here is an excerpt that shows that there is a such things as a panfocal systolic murmur perhaps this is what it refers to?
