Any MI patient will be on ASA before he knows it :-) B-blocker will come latter...during MI ..or early after there is a chance for post-MI arrhythmias, so I think B-blocker can be usefull, only with caution due to early depolarization effect.

aspirin is more widely used than B-blockers, probably because of the relatively more contra-indications of the B-blocker that almost related to cardivascular system like heart failure, look at this statistics I have taken from The Journal of the American Medical Association,January 15,2003 ..
aspirin prescribed at dicharge 86% at US in 2001
B-blockers prescribed at dicharge 79% at US in 2001
