concentration of angiotensin II at which the force of blood vessel contraction is half the maximum value (EC50) 
A calculated value for the concentration of angiotensin II (AngII), the octapeptide, Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe, that is derived from angiotensinogen and acts as a powerful vasopressor and stimulator of aldosterone secretion, at which the energy produced by the active reduction in the diameter of a blood vessel in response to the application of AngII is halfway between the baseline value and the highest achievable value of such AngII-induced contractile energy.
concentration of phenylephrine at which the force of blood vessel contraction is half the maximum value (EC50) +  
concentration of potassium chloride at which the force of blood vessel contraction is half the maximum value (EC50) 
logarithm of the concentration of angiotensin II at which the force of blood vessel contraction is half the maximum value (Log EC50)
