Well i cannot say about the coke, but i believe the theory behind the 
asprins is the same for reducing the risk of an MI. One half (?) 
asprin per day reduces the "stickeness" of platelets by being a 
prostaglandin inhibitor, stopping them acting as seeds for bubble 
formation.
I don't know of any paper that supports this hypothesis though in 
stopping DCI.
