The shift toward a preventative approach in medical aftercare of congenital heart disease (CHD) patients has led to encouragement of regular physical activity (PA) in this patient population. Objective measures are crucial in accurately displaying PA levels and have increasingly found their way into clinical research. This review aims to give an overview about quality, methodology, and outcomes of current scientific work on accelerometers objectively assessing PA in patients with CHD.
