The capsules are less costly than the no2 supplement I am trying now and beet root juice. I will ask my cardiologist about this when I see him in the near future.
If you're concerned about cost and efficacy, considering that most NO uptake takes place in the mouth (via the entero-salivary pathway, as noted in the paper you linked above), you may want to take a serious look at the Beet'Ums chews I posted back in post #3. Chewing really maximizes that conversion time in-mouth compared to liquids, so it's possible you get more "bang for your buck" from the concentrated BeetUms, although I don't know.
At $34 for 30pc bag, it sounds like they cost very close to the same as the KNO3 capsules you're looking at, and the chews offer some additional benefits from a satisfaction, ease-of-use, and additional compounds perspective.
