           We achieved well visualization of the cardiac 
						diffusion-weighted imaging with 2nd moment nulling 
						diffusion gradient. The purpose of this study was to 
						assess the IVIM of heart using 2nd moment nulling pulse 
						and high b-value. The ADC and f using 2nd moment nulling 
						pulse were significantly lower than using 1st moment 
						nulling pulse. Thus, 2nd moment nulling pulse is 
						insensitive to phase dispersion caused by pulsatile 
						motion. In conclusion, we achieved improvement of heart 
						IVIM.
