Michael G. Fradley, MD, discusses real-world data on atrial fibrillation incidence and its cardiovascular and health care impact in CLL. If a [patient] developed atrial fibrillation within 1 year of their CLL diagnosis, we saw that they had significantly worse cardiovascular outcomes. Michael G. Fradley, MD, a professor of clinical medicine (cardiovascular medicine), section chief of Consultative Cardiology, and medical director of the Thalheimer Center for Cardio-Oncology at Penn Medicine, discussed real-world data presented on the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AFib) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and its effect on cardiovascular outcomes and health care resource utilization. In a retrospective study, data from which were presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, Fradley and colleagues used the US Symphony Health open claims database, which captures both privately insured and Medicare populations, Fradley explained. Among 233,362 patients with newly diagnosed CLL/SLL, 13.1% developed AFib within 1 year of diagnosis.

Israeli settlers attack European diplomats during West Bank olive harvest - Al Jazeera
Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
