ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical value myocardial segmental thickness variability (STV) measured by echocardiography in distinguishing ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) from nonischemic dilated (NIDCM). Methods This included 120 patients diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, divided into ICM ( n = 43) and NIDCM 77) groups based on coronary angiography. Traditional echocardiographic parameters, STV, regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) were compared. diagnostic STV was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results There no significant differences traditional parameters between groups. group had a significantly higher mean compared group. An threshold 0.768 provided sensitivity 86.0% specificity 94.8% for NIDCM. Combining RWMA improved accuracy. Conclusion valuable, noninvasive tool differentiating NIDCM, offering high specificity. approach enhances precision, supporting its use practice guide appropriate treatment strategies.
