Among Zanchetti's recent papers were:

  • Pharmacological blood pressure lowering for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease across different levels of blood pressure, 2021, published in The Lancet
  • Age-stratified and blood-pressure-stratified effects of blood-pressure-lowering pharmacotherapy for the prevention of cardiovascular disease and death: an individual participant-level data meta-analysis, 2021, The Lancet
  • Antihypertensive treatment and risk of cancer: an individual participant data meta-analysis, 2021, The Lancet Oncology
  • Blood pressure-lowering treatment for prevention of major cardiovascular diseases in people with and without type 2 diabetes: an individual participant-level data meta-analysis, 2022, The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology
  • Blood pressure lowering in isolated diastolic hypertension and cardiovascular risk: an individual patient data meta-analysis, 2025, European Heart Journal

Zanchetti regularly collaborated with several co-authors, including Mark Woodward, Sverre E. Kjeldsen, John Chalmers, Barry R. Davis, and Kazem Rahimi.
