DFP full form in medical is Diastolic Filling Period. Have you ever taken a deep breath and then let it out slowly? When you do this, you’re filling and emptying your lungs just like your heart fills and empties during the diastolic filling period. Imagine that your heart is a little muscle that’s always working hard to pump blood to the rest of your body. It needs to take a break every now and then to fill up with blood again before it pumps it out. That’s what the diastolic filling period is all about – it’s the heart’s chance to catch its breath and refill its tanks before it starts pumping again.
If the diastolic filling period is too short, it’s like your heart is trying to catch its breath but doesn’t have enough time. It might not be able to fill up completely and may not be able to pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. On the other hand, if the diastolic filling period is too long, it’s like your heart is huffing and puffing and might get too full. It could become overfilled and may not be able to pump efficiently. So the diastolic filling period is kind of like a little break for your heart. It helps to make sure that it’s able to pump enough blood to keep you going strong.
