Power quality issues have to be avoided or solved in order to preserve the integrity of the network and its assets. To this purpose, several power quality indexes and measurement techniques have been developed and used by experts. This paper aims at solving the issue of having an uncertainty associated to the total harmonic distortion (THD) measurements. The idea is to obtain a close-form expression, which only requires the knowledge of the instrument transformer accuracy class, to estimate the mean value and the variance of THD. After the development of such an expression, it has been tested and stressed to confirm its effectiveness and applicability in a variety of conditions, and for harmonics up to 25th (of 50 Hz), defined by the standards.Background The wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) is available for patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) when immediate implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation is not possible or indicated. Patient selection remains challenging especially in primary prevention. Long-term data on these patients is still lacking. METHODS 153 patients were included in this study. They were prescribed the WCD between April 2012 and March 2019 at the University Medical Center, Mannheim, Germany. The mean follow-up period was 36.2 ± 15.6 months. Outcome data, including all-cause mortality, were analyzed by disease etiology and ICD implantation following WCD use. RESULTS We analyzed 56 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, 70 patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, 16 patients with prior need for ICD/CRT-D (device for cardiac resynchronizatio
