Quick question about sympathetic discharge to the heart?

Hello everyone,

 

Vasomotor centre for example, increases heart rate and increases blood vessel constriction and raises total peripheral resistance. The end result is increase in stroke volume. My question is if blood pressure is raised too much by constricting blood vessels, wouldn't that make it hard for the ventricles to pump blood and decrease stroke volume. Thanks :)
