aspirin is an irreversible cox 2 inhibitor.

it works by inhibitng thromboxane a3 stopping blood clotting and thus stopping cardiac embolism.

A physician would NEVER EVER give you aspirin to prevent a heart attack. They will give it to prevent a second heart attack. Statins are way more effective at preventing heart attacks.

Aspirin inhibits both cox1 and cox2. cox1 is the one found in platelets.

Aspirin is indicated to prevent a first heart attack.

Aspirin is also indicated for acute MI settings (everyone who comes in the emergency dept with chest pain "meets MONA"), since it will prevent a clot from growing any larger.

Statins are also wonderful drugs as well.

Just to clarify: I got this question right, but I'm baffled that this is a scientific misconception.
