          The tagging imaging on cardiovascular magnetic resonance 
						evaluates the dynamic deformation of lines or grids 
						superimposed on the myocardium during the cardiac cycle, 
						and also provides the quantitative parameters as well as 
						strain. The sensitivity and quantitative capability of 
						tagging imaging for detecting the deformation of 
						myocardium in ischemic heart disease had been reported. 
						We hypothesized the feasibility of tagging imaging for 
						detecting the details of myocardial dysfunction as well 
						as dyssynchrony of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). 
						The purpose of this study was to evaluate the details of 
						myocardial dysfunction in DCM patients using tagging 
						imaging.
