Final answer:

The typical echocardiographic findings in a patient with isolated rheumatic mitral valve stenosis include a D-shaped left ventricle, dilated left ventricle, and left atrial enlargement, but not left atrial thrombus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Typical echocardiographic findings in a patient with isolated rheumatic mitral valve stenosis include all of the following except:

  1. A. D-shaped left ventricle
  2. B. Dilated left ventricle
  3. C. Left atrial enlargement
  4. D. Left atrial thrombus

In a patient with isolated rheumatic mitral valve stenosis, echocardiography would typically reveal a D-shaped left ventricle due to decreased filling from the stenotic mitral valve. The left ventricle may also be dilated due to increased pressure. Left atrial enlargement is commonly seen as a result of increased pressure in the left atrium. However, left atrial thrombus formation is not a typical finding in isolated rheumatic mitral valve stenosis.
