The biggest standout difference I see is that the largest study in that article is for 3,000 covid cases, whereas this one is on 153,000.

Those 3,000 cases were actively monitored for cardiac issues, while the VA study is purely passive and observational (which the article itself raises as a caveat). It's not just a matter of comparing raw sample sizes.
