This year specialists paid attention to a variety of issues: from genetic studies, problem of syncope condition diagnostics in children to prevention of thrombosis and sudden cardiac death.

Vadim A. Kuznetsov, MD, PhD, FESC, FACC, FISCU, Professor of Cardiology, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Scientific Supervisor of Tyumen Cardiology Research Center, summing up the results, noted that Congress has been completed successfully: 734 participants were registered, 122 abstracts from 5 countries were included in the abstract book, and almost 500 people watched online live broadcasting of the sessions.

“We have held the Conferences, Symposiums and Congresses of various scales on the basis of Tyumen Cardiology Research Center more than 20 years. – told Vadim A. Kuznetsov. – International Congress “Cardiology at a Crossroad of Sciences” has already become one of the best in the world.

This year our distinctive feature was the Forum “Days of the Belarusian Cardiology in Russia”, which was held for the first time in Russia, right in Tyumen Cardiology Research Center. High-level professionals came from the Republic of Belarus. It is a real friendship of peoples, which promotes exchange of valuable experience. We should join our forces with our colleagues for the benefit of all patients”.

Vadim A. Kuznetsov pointed a magnificent workshop on cardiosurgery, made by Professor Yuriy P. Ostrovskiy and invited everyone to forthcoming World Congress on Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Ultrasound and expressed his gratitude to all participants and organizers.

It should be reminded, that one of the main issues for experts` discussion traditionally was diagnostics and treatment of arterial hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, vascular pathology, rheumatoid arthritis, syncopal states in children-sportsmen etc. Genetic studies in cardiology included in the Congress Program 2019 were of great interest to participants. Separate Symposium was devoted to this issue.

We have seen that Tyumen Cardiology Research Center has moved ahead and developed from year to year. The Belarusian speakers were of great interest to me. I do like all of their reports. All data were presented as clearly and well-structured as possible; the topics covered were really up to date”.

“Multi-aspect Conferences concerning absolutely different issues of cardiology and relevant fields of current interest have been holding during 3 days. Yesterday I was at the section devoted to a sudden cardiac death. I have found out a lot of new information”, - told Tatiana Dolzhnikova, one more participant.

On the third day of the Congress, poster presentation competition was summarized. Upon decision of the Commission, the study of our researchers (authors: N. Shirokov, V. Kuznetsov, A. Soldatova, S.
