Had a 24 hour holter and report said q waves noted throughout what does this mean is it bad? 27 makes, normal echo.

Holter: The q waves may be perfectly normal. A 12 lead EKG would have to be reviewed to accurately analyze whether q waves are pathologic as Holter Monitors are not entirely specific for morphology but are mainly used to assess heart rates and type of rhythm.
