The whole biography of Kuznetsov V.A. is inextricably connected with Tyumen Cardiology Research Center history.
Competence, brilliant erudition, energetics, special view to something new, talent of researcher and at the same time preservation of valuable accumulated experience are traits that characterize V.A. Kuznetsov as a brilliant scientist, leader, mentor, a person who was really worried about the future.
His thoughts and activities will continue in his followers. Vadim Anatolyevich was a real Master who earned authority, respect, titles and regalia with his whole life! We deeply grieve.
