In the context of the ayah from Surah Qasas: The فُؤَادُ was strengthened in order to keep her emotions under control. Out of a maternal insitinct, the Mother of Musa was about to disclose the secret that Musa was her baby, and hence both would have been killed. Allah calmed down her فُؤَادُ and kept her emotions at bay, and hence the word "qalb" is used later in the ayah. فُؤَادُ refers to a heart with extreme emotion, while "qalb" is a normal heart.

In the context of the ayah from Surah Furqan, [And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.], the tafseer mentions 3 reasons:
By gradual revelation the Holy Prophet's Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam's heart was made strong in the following manner:
1. It was made easy for him to remember the Qur'an by heart. If the whole Book was revealed in one go, its remembrance by heart would not have been that easy. Remembrance of the Qur'an by heart expelled all worries from his heart.
2. Whenever an objection was raised by the infidels or a maltreatment was perpetrated, a verse would reveal to give him fortitude. In case the entire Qur'an was revealed in one piece and the fortitude for the special occasion had also been mentioned in it, its search in the Book would have been painstaking. Moreover, it would have been uncertain whether or not the attention of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) would be drawn to the particular verse
3. Instant response by way of revelation to answer awkward questions was by itself the confirmation of Allah Ta'ala's support which is the biggest source of strength for the heart. The wisdom of keeping the heart strong is not dependent on gradual revelations alone.
If any of these reasons are correct, let me know insha'Allah.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
