Study Type: observational

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The difference in both objective and subjective stress levels between ACHD and apparently healthy controls. The objective stress is measured by using a wearable (heart rate variability). Subjective stress is taken from the questionnaire (Stress and Coping Inventory). All tests, data and the distribution of the wearable are done in patients on a routine examination day at the German Heart Center.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
- Difference in sleep quality and sleep phases between ACHD and control subjects.<br>- Difference in objective as well as subjective stress perception between ACHD and control subjects.<br>- Correlation between subjective stress perception and measured stress level.<br>- Correlation between maximum oxygen uptake (exercise performance) and sleep behavior as well as stress perception.<br>- Correlation between activity and sleep behavior as well as stress perception
