calculated blood vessel maximum contractile force measurement +  
A measurement which has been normalized, adjusted or derived by a mathematical process or computation, of the highest achievable amount of energy produced by the active reduction in the diameter of a blood vessel, any one of the network of muscular tubes that carry blood through the body, resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessel.
concentration of vasoconstrictor at which the force of blood vessel contraction is half the maximum value (EC50) +  
logarithm of the concentration of vasoconstrictor at which the force of blood vessel contraction is half the maximum value (Log EC50) +  
maximum contractile force per wet weight of vessel +  
receptor-dependent blood vessel maximum contractile force
