I recently had a stress test that was perfectly normal but3-D CCG showed that I have reduced blood flow to the Heart. Does that mean that this test or the stress test was wrong?

No. Although both tests were looking for heart disease, they are doing it in different ways. Your normal stress test indicates that the plaque build up has not yet reached the point where the blood supply reduction is causing abnormal electrical activity, which can be picked up by ECG. Your cardiovascular cartography measures the actual reduction in the blood flow and tells us that the process has indeed begun, and there is an opportunity to modify all controllable risk factors to minimize the chance of having a major heart related event.
