splitting of S1, predominantly in aortic area

R1, as Helena says, is ruido 1, more propertly the "primer tono cardiaco", and in English the "first heart sound". It is commonly referred to in English as S1. "Desdoblamiento", as you say, is splitting, meaning that there is a delay or separation between the two components of S1, known as M1 and T1, meaning the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves respectively. It often indicates a dysfunction such as a left bundle branch blockage.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruido_cardíaco

"Splitting of S1:
The first heart sound is made up of several components, although the most audible components heard at the bedside are the high frequency vibrations related to mitral and tricuspid closure. Generally, the louder sound of mitral closure drowns out the softer sound of tricuspid closure. Occasionally the two are separated sufficiently such that there is audible splitting of S1, heard best at the apex or lower left sternal border."

FAo, as Helena also suggests, stands for foco aórtico. This abbreviation seems to be used mostly in Portuguese; in Spanish FA is standard. But that must be what it means here:

"Ausculta cardíaca
foco aórtico (FAo): no segundo espaço inter-costal direito, junto ao Esterno"
http://www.enciclopedia.med.br/wiki/Ausculta_cardíaca

"FM: foco mitral. FA: foco aórtico. FP: foco pulmonar. FT: foco tricuspideo. R1: primer ruido cardíaco. R2: segundo ruido cardíaco."
http://www.monografias.com/trabajos80/diagnostico-diferencia...

"Foco aórtico: segundo espacio intercostal derecho."
http://www.gastromerida.com/secciones/semiologia/corazon/aus...

It's an auscultation site, and is called the aortic area in English:

"The murmur of aortic stenosis is typically a mid-systolic ejection murmur, heard best over the “aortic area” or right second intercostal space, with radiation into the right neck."

And "preferentemente" probably means "predominantly" rather than "preferably" here:

Peer comment(s):

agree Helena Chavarria : Your answer coincides with what I suspected but I didn't/don't have time to piece the information together!//It only took me 10 minutes. In my second reference 'foco aórtica' appears just above 'Ruidos cardiacos'.

Thanks, Helena! You did a lot of the heavy lifting here; I wouldn't have answered if you hadn't indicated you weren't going to.

Reference:

In Chile R1 means Ruído 1

La auscultación se realiza por etapas, comenzando por los ruidos normales. El primer ruido (R1), debido al cierre de las válvulas aurículoventriculares, se percibe generalmente como un ruido único en los focos mitral y tricuspídeo. El segundo ruido (R2) determinado por el cierre de las válvulas sigmoídeas, consta de un componente inicial más intenso correspondiente al cierre aórtico (A2) y de un componente más tardío y suave correspondiente al cierre pulmonar (P2).

Ruidos cardiacos.

Los ruidos cardiacos son sonidos cortos, bien definidos. Entre ellos, destacan especialmente el primer y segundo ruido:

primer ruido (R1): corresponde a un sonido que se produce al cerrarse las válvulas mitral y tricúspide. El cierre de ambas válvulas tiende a ser al unísono, pero ocasionalmente se puede escuchar este ruido desdoblado (por ejemplo, en un bloqueo completo de rama derecha). El primer ruido se escucha mejor hacia el ápex, aunque, por su intensidad, normalmente se escucha en toda el área precordial. Cuando existe dificultad para reconocer el primer ruido, conviene tomar el pulso de una arteria ya que el primer ruido ocurre al comienzo del latido (sístole).

R1 = S1

I'm afraid I can't help you with the whole question.
