The heaviness that occurs when reading some letters of the Quran is given various names: tafkheem, isti’la, taghlidh, etc. Do they all mean the same thing?
Here’s a side-by-side comparison. Tafkheem is the overarching term for heaviness. The tafkheem of some letters is specifically referred to as isti’la, while the tafkheem of the laam (in certain conditions and riwayat) is called taghlidh.
Allah SWT knows best.

Assalamu Alaikum,
I have been learning and teaching the Quran for many years, Alhamdulillah, and have coached hundreds of students from around the world. My strength lies in supporting busy ladies–especially new Muslims–who want to recite the Quran correctly and enhance their attachment to it, in a way that suits each person’s unique lifestyle and ambitions.
